Upon its opening in 1994, the 2,500-seat stadium became the latest jewel among Notre Dame’s ever-expanding athletic facilities. Located on the southeast corner of campus, Eck Stadium has become a favorite with the Irish – as Notre Dame posted a 399-130-2 home mark (for a .753 winning percentage) during the 1994-2013 seasons. The 2006 season featured a record-setting, season-long turnout at Eck Stadium – with the average of 2,514 fans per game including seven of the eight largest crowds in the stadium’s history. A sampling of the teams from the May 7, 2006, edition of Baseball America’s top-25 poll showed that Notre Dame’s record-setting home attendance average ranked 11th-highest among those elite top-25 teams. Plans to build the stadium were announced June 7, 1991, thanks to a generous gift to the University by alumnus Frank Eck and his company, Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., of Columbus, Ohio. Eck was the firm’s chairman and chief executive officer. He graduated in 1944 with a degree in chemical engineering and later endowed a collec-

tion in that field at Notre Dame’s Hesburgh Library. Eck’s contributions to Notre Dame have totaled more than $35 million. The most recent, a $21 million gift in 2005, underwrote the current constructon of the Eck Hall of Law, which includes a second building for the Notre Dame Law School and a multipurpose facility in a neo-Gothic archway that will link the new structure to the existing building. The gift was the fifth largest in Notre Dame’s history, the largest ever to the Law School, and one of the largest in the history of American legal education. Eck’s previous benefactions to Notre Dame endowed a library collection in chemical engineering and underwrote construction of the Eck Tennis Pavilion in 1987 and the Eck Center, which includes the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore, visitors’ center and Alumni Association headquarters, in 1999. He also underwrote a key addition to Eck Stadium in 2000, when an adjoining 9,000-square-foot indoor hitting and pitching facility opened to provide the Notre Dame baseball team with a valuable year-round practice area. Eck Stadium includes spacious home and visi-

tor locker-room areas, meeting rooms and coaching facilities for each team. The stadium also houses a beautiful press box overlooking home plate and the 2,500-seat grandstand. The stadium is illuminated by a state-of-the-art lighting system, allowing for night play. Several Stadium renovations and additions have been completed since the end of the 2010 season, with more plans in the works for coming years. Most notably, the Coach Pat Murphy Locker Room. The renovation project was made possible through the generous gift of Daniel Murphy, David Murphy, Bert Bondi (‘67), Craig Counsell (‘92) and John Counsell (‘64), as well as other generous supporters of Notre Dame baseball. The locker space was completely overhauled with the installation of 36 brand new, 30-inch wood lockers including four specially designed corner lockers for the catchers. Lastly, new flat screen, high definition televisions and state-ofthe-art RightView Pro technology was installed. 2014 brought a new edition to the stadium as the company Field Turf brought in a state-of-theart artificial surface to replace the natural grass surface. At the 1995 Notre Dame alumni game, the University officially named Eck Stadium’s playing surface Jake Kline Field, in honor of the program’s winningest coach. Kline won 558 games in his 42-year career (1934-75).

A new era at Frank Eck Stadium began in January of 2000, as a 9,000-square foot indoor hitting and pitching facility was completed in time for preseason workouts. The facility, which got a major facelift in 2012, is located adjacent to the left field line. It includes wall-to-wall synthetic turf floor; four full and two half batting cages on a track system which allows for retraction; permanent pitching mounds within the tunnels; and an “Iron Mike” pitching machine, with automatic ball feeder and remote control. The 120’ x 80’ facility includes men’s and women’s restrooms and a classroom for video analysis.

BRAGGING RIGHTS – Two former Arizona Diamondbacks had a rooting interest in the 2002 NCAA Regional game between Notre Dame and South Alabama, as Craig Counsell (’92) was a fouryear starter with the Irish while Luis Gonzalez started for the Jaguars. The two made a friendly wager and Gonzalez was forced to wear Notre Dame baseball apparel around New York City during a trip to the Big Apple.

CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN – Former OF John Counsell (’64) and his son Craig (’92) are the only father/son combination to captain the same team sport at Notre Dame (pictured above). u Brian Dupra (‘11) was a two-time captain in 2009 and 2010. He was the 15th multi-year captain in the program’s 119-year history. Dupra was the 12th since the turn of century (as in 1900 not 2000) and 10th since the late 1970s. uDupra and 2012 captain Will Hudgins had the rare accomplishment of being a captain as a pitcher and not an everyday position player. u Over the last 34 seasons, Dupra, Sean Fitzgerald (2014) and Hudgins are the ninth, 10th and 11th pitchers to earn captain status. The others include Craig Allen (‘96), Alex Shilliday (‘99), Aaron Heilman (‘00, ‘01), J.P. Gagne (‘03), Chris Niesel (‘04), Tyler Jones (‘05), Tom Thorton (‘06) and Cole Johnson (‘09). In fact, Dupra and Heilman are the only known two-time captain pitchers in Notre Dame baseball history.

OH, BROTHER! – Freshman (now junior) Mac Hudgins and his brother, Will, were teammates for the Irish in 2011-12. Cole Johnson and his sophomore (now senior) brother Forrest suited up with one another in 2010-11. Evan Sharpley and his brother Ryan played together in 2008-09. 2013 graduate Breck Ashdown is the younger brother of Brayden (‘10), who earned four monograms for Notre Dame. Ryan Kalita followed his brother Tim (’97-’99), by lettering with Notre Dame baseball in 2002, a feat turned in the previous season by 2B Steve Sollmann (his brother Scott was the Irish CF in ’94-’96).

COACHING CONNECTIONS – Two former Notre Dame assistant coaches – Brian O’Connor (University of Virginia) and Cory Mee (University of Toledo) – are entering their 11th years as Division I head coaches in 2014 while another former Notre Dame assistant coach, Terry Rooney, embarks on his sixth year at UCF. Three other Notre Dame players – John Corbin (Bradley), Javi Sanchez (LSU) and Ryan Connolly (Oklahoma) – currently are assistant coaches on the Division I level. CONFERENCE CALL – While Notre Dame was in the BIG EAST from 1996-2013, the Irish went 700376-5 (.650) overall, including a 281-162-2 (.634) record in BIG EAST regular season games and a 318288-2 (.525) mark in BIG EAST regular season and tournament games combined. Notre Dame totaled 102 BIG EAST series wins, 145 series ties and only 47 series losses. The Irish were swept in only three BIG EAST doubleheaders from 1996-2001– including 34 straight twin-bills without an opponent sweep – with an overall record of 56 BIG EAST doubleheader sweeps, 36 splits and only 16 opponent sweeps. Notre Dame has played 82 BIG EAST series at Eck Stadium, winning 57 (eight ties). Notre Dame’s BIG EAST dominance from 1999-2006 produced a 149-51-2 (.743) conference record. COUNSELL, CRAIG – Former Notre Dame infielder Craig Counsell provided his share of World Series magic to two different Major League teams, as a member of the 1997 Florida Marlins and 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks teams that won the World Series in their first trips. In both instances, Counsell
went from being an unheralded backup to one of the driving forces in the title runs. CWS RECORD-HOLDER – Former Notre Dame great Jim Morris – who watched Notre Dame at the 2002 College World Series – left his mark on that event in 1957, setting the CWS record for batting average (.714, 10-for-14). Morris visited in the summer of 1999 for a formal presentation to Notre Dame of a portrait that shows him striking a stance at old Cartier Field (the former home of Notre Dame baseball), with newspaper clippings included in the painting. The painting was donated by artist Catherine Morris Priest, daughter of the former Irish infielder. DIRECTORS, ATHLETICS – Several former Irish baseball players have gone on to serve as high-ranking administrators in collegiate athletics. Former allconference outfielder Rick Chryst (’83) was Mid-American Conference commissioner from 19992009 after seven years as an Atlantic Coast Conference assistant commissioner in charge of marketing, legal affairs and special events and three years as a Southwest Conference assistant commissioner. Chryst graduated from Notre Dame magna cum laude with an economics degree and received his law degree from Duke. Former Notre Dame athletics director Dick Rosenthal (1987-1995) was an All-America basketball player and a baseball first baseman with the Irish in the early 1950s. Former Notre Dame pitcher Mike Bobinski (’79) spent six years as the A.D. at Xavier before being promoted to an associate vice president position in 2004. He held both titles at Xavier until accepting the A.D. job at Georgia Tech in January

BATTLE of the CLASSES – Notre Dame’s 2002 senior class (above) helped compile a four-year record of 18867-1 (.736) from 1999-2002, besting the class of ’92 (187) for the most wins ever by a Notre Dame class (the ’03 seniors then finished 190-67-1/.738 while the ’04 seniors were 195-61-1/.761). The 2004 class – led by the winningest four-year starter in the program’s history, 2B Steve Sollmann – compiled the best four-year winning pct. in the program’s past 90 seasons, besting the .758 mark posted by the class of ’93 (.758/185-59). The class of ’92 was led by pitchers David Sinnes, Chris Michalak and Alan Walania, plus outfielders Eric Danapilis and Edwin Hartwell. Here’s a rundown of the impressive career stats racked up by the 2002 senior class: 1,283 games played (1,020 starts); a .317 combined batting average (1,170 hits); 601 RBI and 812 runs scored; 68 home runs, 41 triples and 222 doubles; 395 walks and 190 stolen bases; a 17-7 pitching record, 10 saves, 256.1 innings, 205 strikeouts and only 96 walks. Four of the ’02 seniors – CF Steve Stanley, 3B Andrew Bushey, C Paul O’Toole and DH Matt Bok – went on to play professionally, one of four times since 1965 that a Notre Dame senior class has produced four-plus players who were drafted or signed as free agents (four in ’90, five in ’93 and ’96). The drafting of Stanley, Bushey and O’Toole – the only Notre Dame classmates with 200-plus starts – marked just the third time that three-plus Irish seniors had been picked in the same draft (also 1993 and 2001).

Fighting Irish 2013. Bobinski previously worked in the athletics departments at Notre Dame and Navy. DANDY DEBUT – Chris Niesel became the first Notre Dame freshman pitcher to post double-digit strikeouts in his debut, with 10 punch outs in 5.0 innings of work against Southern Illinois at the 2002 University of New Orleans Classic (followed by nine strikeouts versus Fairfield, collecting 19 strikeouts and issuing only one walk in his first 12 career innings). DID YOU KNOW?– More than one hundred years ago, Angus McDonald was a two-year starter at both quarterback and first base for the Irish, but later earned fame as the President of the Southern Pacific Railroad. u Neither Cap Anson nor Carl Yastrzemski were at Notre Dame very long, but the former is arguably the most prominent MLB figure of the 19th Century and the latter was a Hall of Famer from the 20th Century. u All of Notre Dame’s seven Heisman Trophy winners were great athletes, but some of them were more versatile than others, including two that also played baseball. Angelo Bertelli earned three monograms in football and one each in baseball and hockey. Johnny Lujack earned three monograms in football and one each in baseball, basketball and track, and was a star in the NFL as both a defensive back and quarterback. u George Ratterman was one the greatest quarterbacks never to achieve true stardom. He backed up Johnny Lujack at Notre Dame and Otto Graham with the Cleveland Browns. When he was the starter, he compiled great statistics. In 1945, he accomplished something that Lujack had done the year before, earning monograms in four different sports. They each played football, baseball and basketball. Lujack ran track and Ratterman golfed.
u Norm Barry started in the backfield for Knute Rockne’s first three teams (1918-20) while also earning three monograms in baseball and two in track. Rockne’s backfields in 1918-22 had some of the most versatile players in Notre Dame history. Paul Castner, Curly Lambeau and George Gipp, as well as Elmer Layden (who earned three letters in football as a member of the Four Horsemen and was a three-time letter winner in track as a sprinter); Chet Wynne (who was also a track star); Tom Lieb (an NCAA discus champion); Gus Desch (an NCAA hurdling champion); and Frank Thomas (baseball player who later became one of the greatest head football coaches at Alabama, with an .812 winning percentage and two National Championships); and Johnny Mohardt. u Mohardt is a special case at Notre Dame. He starred in football and baseball and later played in the NFL and MLB in order to pay for his medical degree at Northwestern. He also held a lot of the interhall sprint records at Notre Dame. He was the surgeon at the Mayo Clinic when Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy shared a room while having leg surgery. u Cy Williams received three letters in baseball, two in track and played one year of football, while earning a degree in architecture. He led the National League in home runs four times.
At least 11 other brother combinations are known to have lettered with Notre Dame baseball. Other brother combinations include: u Arthur (OF, ’12) and Francis Carmody (2B, ’15) of Shreveport, La. u Francis (LHP, ’07-09) and Ray Scanlan (C, ’08-09) of Syracuse, N.Y. u Houston natives Samuel (SS, ’13) and Harry Newning (3B, ’13-14) u Alfred (SS/OF/P, ’14-15) and Joseph Bergman (OF/P, ’23) of Peru, Ind. u Roger (1B, ’23-25) and Cyril Nolan (’30) of Davenport, Iowa u San Francisco natives Roy (OF, ’39) and Ray Pinelli (SS, ’39-41) u Detroit natives John (1B, ’43) and Tom McHale (’48, OF) u South Bend’s Tom (OF, ’64-65), Dan (OF, ’79-82) and Ray Szajko (IF, ’87) u Pittsburgh’s Frank (OF/1B, ’66-68) and Bill Orga (OF, ’68-70) and Marty (RHP, ’80) and Carl Vuono (1B, ’84) u New Orleans natives Jack (OF, ’75) and Casey Snyder (OF, ’83-84) u Mike (P, ’78-’81) and John Deasey (IF/ OF, ’82-’83) of Edina, Minn.
u Rich Sauget played baseball and football at Notre Dame, as did his son, Rich, Jr. Rich, Sr. is one of the most innovative owners in Independent baseball, with the Gateway Grizzlies. u John “Pop” Farley was a four-time letter winner in football; four times in baseball; and once in track, for a total of nine. He later became a CSC Priest and long-time Dorm Rector. Farley is the only person for whom a dorm is named at Notre Dame who served primarily as a Priest-Rector.
COMMUNITY SERVICE – The Notre Dame athletics department honored one varsity team for community service excellence in 2005-06 and the Irish baseball team was the recipient of that inaugural trophy. The team members combined for nearly 200 hours of community service in the 2005-06 academic year, with activities including: the Buddy Walk to benefit children with Downs Syndrome; adopting a local South Bend-area family, through a Salvation Army program over the Christmas holidays; players donating their time during fall break while assisting in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts; and participation in the South Bend Reads program, the D.A.R.E. drugs and alcohol education program, the athletics department’s annual Christmas party that provides an assortment of activities and games for young cancer patients and the Student-Athlete Advisory Council’s Shoebox Drive (benefitting a local homeless shelter).

uRupert Mills won nine monograms at Notre Dame (one in football, two in track and three each in baseball and basketball). He had a short stint in MLB. Mills was serving as the Undersheriff and likely to win the race as Sheriff of his county in New Jersey when he drowned attempting to save the life of his best friend. During the 1914-15 season, Mills earned four monograms, as did Alfred “Dutch” Bergman, making them part of only four to do this at Notre Dame, preceding Lujack and Ratterman. DOUBLE-DIGIT DINGERS– The 2004 Notre Dame baseball team more than doubled the home run output from 2003 (31 to 68), with four players hitting 10-plus home runs for the first time in Notre Dame history: junior 3B Matt Macri (14), sophomore DH Matt Bransfield (12), junior 1B Matt Edwards (12) and sophomore RF Craig Cooper (10).
Steve Sollmann (left) and Grant Johnson
u Weiland, Phelps, Korpi, Elam and Graffy were the most Notre Dame pitchers to ever get chosen in a single MLB draft. The previous high was three in the 2003 MLB draft.
u In 2009, senior SS Jeremy Barnes and junior OF A.J. Pollock were the first set of Irish teammates to hit 10 or more home runs in one season since 2004. Barnes slugged 15 long balls, while Pollock added 10. u Eric Jagielo and Trey Mancini drilled 13 and 12 home runs, respectively, in 2012. The sophomore duo was the first set of Irish second-year players to hit double-digit home runs since ‘04. In fact, Jagielo and Mancini were the only set of BIG EAST teammates to each register at least 10 home runs in 2012. They entered 2013 as the only retuning tandem in college baseball to have hit at least 12 home runs in 2012. DOUBLE DOMINATION – The slew of offensive records from Notre Dame’s 25-1 win over South Alabama in the 2002 NCAAs (see “Offensive Explosion”) makes that game one of the more unique in NCAA Tournament history – but the game had an added dimension: the strong pitching of freshman Grant Johnson. Johnson faced only 30 batters, allowed one hit and one walk (two hit batters) while becoming the 13th pitcher ever to post a no-hitter or 1-hitter in the NCAAs. The 1-hitter – coupled with sophomore Steve Sollmann’s record day (6-for-7, 7 RBI, 6 R) – made the game doubly unique in college baseball history and both earned national player/ pitcher of the week honors. Johnson hit his first batter and gave up a double before facing one over the minimum the rest of the way. The 97-pitch masterpiece included eight strikeouts, five popups and five groundouts. Sollmann became the first player ever to score six runs in an NCAA Tournament game while tying Notre Dame single-game records for hits (6, tied NCAA record), RBI (7) and runs. His 13 total bases included back-to-back RBI triples (tying the NCAA record for triples) and a three-run home run.

DRAFT PICKS – A school record six players were drafted in 2001 and 2008: RHPs Aaron Heilman (Mets, 1st) and Danny Tamayo (Royals, 10th), SS Alec Porzel (Red Sox, 13th), OF Brian Stavisky (Cubs, 33rd), C Paul O’Toole (Giants, 47th) and OF Steve Stanley (Marlins, 50th) all went in 2001, while Kyle Weiland (Red Sox, 3rd), David Phelps (Yankees, 14th), Wade Korpi (Marlins, 20th), Sam Elam (Rockies, 23rd), Brett Graffy (White Sox, 24th) and Brett Lilley (Cardinals, 29th) were selected in 2008.
u Four Notre Dame position players were drafted in 2002 – led by Stanley (Oakland, 2nd) and Stavisky (Oakland, 6th), plus senior 3B/C Andrew Bushey (Colorado, 15th) and O’Toole (Cubs, 21st). Stanley and Stavisky were the first Notre Dame teammates ever drafted in rounds 1-6 and were the highest-drafted outfielders from the same team in the 2002 draft (no previous Irish team had four players drafted in the first 21 rounds). u The program’s biggest draft day arrived in 2004, with five picked in the first 14 rounds: the junior trio of RHP Grant Johnson (Cubs, 2nd), 3B Matt Macri (Rockies, 5th) and RHP Chris Niesel (Indians, 9th), plus the highest-drafted pair of seniors in Notre Dame baseball history: 2B Steve Sollmann (Brewers, 10th) and C Javi Sanchez (Twins, 14th).
EA SPORTS NCAA BASEBALL – The Notre Dame baseball program was one of 128 college programs featured in the 2006 initial release of the home video game MVP NCAA Baseball game, produced by the industry leader EA Sports. Notre Dame’s Eck Stadium was one of the 19 college ballparks available in the initial release. Inspired by the spirit and emotion of collegiate athletics, MVP NCAA Baseball is the first-ever college baseball game. Upgraded features included: Rock-and-Fire full-control pitching; ability to build a dynasty with recruiting, stat tracking and equipment upgrades; ability to create your own tournament; single- and two-player pitching mini-games; college fight songs and actual College World Series footage; ability to field strength-specific rosters (even choose your own bat); the option to go online and take on MVP NCAA Baseball players across the nation; and ESPN broadcast integration (radio, news, ticker feeds), plus expert commentary by Mike Patrick. The upgrades were in addition to the initial release aspects, such as: Load and Fire batting; Road to Omaha game setup; Precision Throw Control; and Creation Zone customization.

Fighting Irish Johnson and Macri remain the highest-drafted Notre Dame teammates while four picked in the first 10 rounds doubled Notre Dame’s previous best. u In 2009, Elam (Yankees, 8th) and Jeremy Barnes (Phillies, 11th), along with A.J. Pollock (Diamondbacks, 1st), gave the Irish three picks in the first 11 rounds for the first time since ‘04. u Notre Dame had five players selected in the 2010 MLB Draft, including RHP Brian Dupra (Tigers, 11th), RHP Evan Danieli (Braves, 24th), RHP Steven Mazur (Orioles, 33rd), C Will Harford (Reds, 45th) and former OF Golden Tate (Giants, 50th). u The Irish had three players selected in the top eight rounds in 2013 as 3B Eric Jagielo (Yankees, 1st), Dan Slania (Giants, 5th) and Trey Mancini (Orioles, 8th) all left Notre Dame after outstanding junior campaigns. EIGHT(EEN) Ks IS ENOUGH – Former Notre Dame pitcher Aaron Heilman tied a BIG EAST record and came just shy of the Irish record with an 18-strikeout effort in a 3-1, 10-inning win at West Virginia on April 15, 2000 (scheduled for 7.0 innings). Spotting his tough slider while delivering a fastball that touched 91 mph in the late innings, Heilman retired 15 straight from the 5th-10th innings and struck out 10
of the final 12 he faced – including seven straight before a single with two outs in the 10th (Kevin Olkowski went down swinging to end the game). The 18 strikeouts tied the BIG EAST record set by Seton Hall’s Jason Grilli (another future big-leaguer). Frank Carpin is the only other Irish pitcher to record 18-plus strikeouts in a game, with 19 in a 10-inning win over Indiana during the 1958 season (12-10). Heilman’s day included only two walks, with 11 groundball outs and one flyout.
EXTRA INNINGS – Prior to its heartbreaking 2001 NCAA Tournament loss to Florida International (7-6, 10 innings), Notre Dame had gone unbeaten in its previous 10 extra-inning games (9-0-1) – including three consecutive extended games at the Fresno State Classic and clutch 11-inning wins at Mississippi State (4-2) and Rutgers (5-4). The Irish quickly rebounded from the FIU loss, winning a 10-inning game later that day against UC Santa Barbara (1110), and went 4-1 in 2002 extra-inning games.
ERA – Notre Dame has finished in the top-25 of the national charts for team earned-run average six times since 1998, owning the nation’s best team ERA during portions of 2000 and 2001. The 2000 staff surged atop the national ERA charts in late April (2.72) and finished 16th (3.93). The Irish then returned to the top spot among the 2001 team ERA leaders for three weeks in April, finishing fifth at 3.22 (best at Notre Dame since 1992, third-best since 1975). Notre Dame went on to finish 13th in the 2002 ERA rankings (3.57), 18th in 2003 (3.53), ninth in 2004 (3.43) and 21st in 2006 (3.52), joining Texas and Rice as the only teams ranked among the nation’s final top-20 ERA leaders every year from 2000-04. The Irish also finished 12th in the final 1998 team ERA rankings (4.02).
u Notre Dame heads into the 2014 season with a 58-51-5 mark (.531) all-time in recorded extrainning games, including a 40-27-4 record (.592) in its past 71 extra-inning games, dating back to the 2000 season.
40-WIN, 400-K CLUB – Former Notre Dame righthander Aaron Heilman (’01) became the 14th Division I player to reach 40 career wins and 400 strikeouts, with the 400th strikeout coming in dramatic fashion as he closed the 2001 regular season with a pair of strikeouts versus Connecticut to land on 400. Heilman was the fourth pitcher to reach both of the milestones since schedule limits were imposed in 1990. His .860 career winning percentage ranks fourth among the first 16 pitchers in the “40-400 club,” behind Arizona State’s Eddie Bane, Richard Wortham (Texas) and Hawaii’s Derek Tatsuno, while Heilman’s career ratio of 9.72 Ks per 9.0 inning ranks sixth behind Tatsuno, Bane, Auburn’s John Powell, Nebraska’s Shane Komine and Greg Swindell (Texas). Heilman, Tatsuno and Bane are the only ones from that elite 16-player group listed below who had a career win percentage of .850-plus and a strikeout ratio above 9.71/9 IP: Shane Komine (Nebraska, ’99-’02) Kenny Baugh (Rice, ’98-’01) Aaron Heilman (Notre Dame, ’98-’01) Kip Bouknight (South Carolina, ’98-’01) John Powell (Auburn, ’90-’94) Doug Creek (Georgia Tech, ’88-’91) Kirk Dressendorfer (Texas, ’88-’90) Brian Barnes (Clemson, ’86-’89) Greg Swindell (Texas, ’84-’86) Mike Loynd (Florida State, ’83-’86) John Hoover (Fresno State, ’81-’84) Derek Tatsuno (Hawaii, ’77-’79) Richard Wortham (Texas, ’73-’76) Eddie Bane (Arizona State, ’71-’73) Greg Swan (Arizona State, ’69-’72) Rich Troedsen (Santa Clara, ’69-’72)

(ALMOST) FIFTY STATES – The Notre Dame baseball program’s list of all-time monogram winners includes players from 44 home states. Pitchers Brandon Viloria (Wailuku, Hawaii) in 2000 and Cody Wilkins (Hudson, N.C.) in 2004 became the first players from their respective states ever to monogram with the Irish baseball program. The only states that have yet to produce Notre Dame baseball letterwinners are Alaska, Idaho, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Vermont. FIRST-ROUNDERS – A.J. Pollock was named allBIG EAST first team for the second straight season in 2009 before being chosen by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 17th overall selection of the Major League Draft. Pollock is one of 34 Notre Dame players drafted in the first 10 rounds (since 1965), including 26 since 1995. Brad Lidge earned the 1998 BIG EAST Pitcher-of-the-Year award and several weeks later was selected in the draft by the Houston Astros, with the 17th overall pick. Ken Plesha, a sophomore catcher in 1965, was Notre Dame’s initial first-round pick (17th pick, Chicago White Sox) while RHP Aaron Heilman was the 18th overall selection in 2001 (N.Y. Mets). In 2013, Eric Jagielo became the latest first round draft choice when the New York Yankees picked the Downers Grove, Ill., native with the 26th overall pick. FIVE-PEAT – Notre Dame was the first team ever to win three straight BIG EAST Tournament titles (20022004; also won in 2005, 2006). At the end of 2006, Oral Roberts (nine) was the only team with a longer active streak of conference tourney titles. FORTY-WIN SEASONS – Notre Dame posted 16 straight seasons with 40-plus wins from 1989-2004, the nation’s third-longest streak at the time, behind Florida State and Wichita State (both 27). The streak included a 51-12 season in 2004, 50-18 in 2002, 49 wins in 2001, 48 in 1989 and 1992, 46 in four years (1990, 1993 1994, 2000), 45 in 1991 and 2003, and 44 in 1995.

Fighting Irish .400 HITTERS – Notre Dame players have hit .400plus 13 times since 1980, most recently 1B Craig Cooper (.425 in 2006) and CF Steve Stanley (.400 in 2001, .439 in 2002). Three other outfielders have posted multiple .400 seasons: Dan Peltier (.414 in 1988, .446 in 1989), Eric Danapilis (.429 in 1990, .438 in 1993) and Scott Sollmann (.402 in 1994, .406 in 1995). Danapilis and Edwin Hartwell battled atop the NCAA batting charts in 1993, with Hartwell ultimately claiming the Notre Dame season record that he still holds (.447). FRESHMAN BATTING CHAMPS – Trey Mancini’s breakout 2011 season saw him become the fifth freshman to ever lead Notre Dame in batting average. He actually led the Irish in all three triple crown categories (.323, 9, 34). Mancini was the first rookie to lead Notre Dame in hitting since A.J. Pollock in 2007. Pollock’s .372 mark ranked as the third-best by a Notre Dame freshman and tops since Scott Sollmann hit .404 in his 1994 rookie season. Pollock and Mancini each collected third team all-BIG EAST honors. Mancini was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, while Pollock ranked fourth on the BIG EAST batting charts, trailing only a pair of senior outfielders and Rutgers junior shortstop Todd Frazier (the 2007 BIG EAST Player of the Year).

Baseball America. Baseball America also rated Notre Dame’s 2004 freshman class – led by pitcher Jeff Manship (#3-rated incoming freshman) – as that season’s 6th-best class. u The 2008 group of newcomers (13 freshmen and one transfer) was rated by Collegiate Baseball magazine as the nation’s fourth-best recruiting class. It marked the second-highest ranking ever for a Notre Dame baseball recruiting class, trailing only the newcomers to the 2002 team who were the nation’s topranked incoming class that season (per Baseball America). Baseball America recognized the group as the nation’s sixth-best recruiting class for the 2008 season. GAME-ENDING HOME RUNS – Former Irish shortstop Alec Porzel (’01) made a name for himself when it came to game-ending home runs. In addition to his 10th-inning blast against Pittsburgh (11-8) in 2000, Porzel beat the Panthers with a first-pitch home run to cap the 1999 series with the Panthers (9-8, in the 9th). As a freshman, he ended the longest game in Eck Stadium history with a 15th-inning blast against West Virginia (5-3) – and his first career grand slam broke a 7-7 tie in the 8th inning of the 2000 BIG EAST Tournament comeback win over Pittsburgh (15-7). u Porzel’s 2000 game-ending home run was one of three on three consecutive weekends, following Jeff Felker’s first-pitch shot against St. John’s (9-8) and prior to Brian Stavisky’s two-run blast against Rutgers (4-3). Eleven months later, three players reached on 2-out, 2-strike pitches before Ken Meyer launched an 0-2 pitch over the left field fence to beat Central Michigan, 6-4 (Notre Dame assumed the No. 1 national ranking four days later). u Four of Notre Dame’s 14 game-ending home runs since 1995 came in the above 12-month stretch (April 30, 2000 – April 19, 2001) – with two in 2002, from Joe Thaman (vs. Ark.-Little Rock, 7-5) and Stavisky on a dramatic two-run blast to cap a College World Series rally vs. Rice (5-3). Craig Cooper’s 12thinning shot beat Purdue in a game played at downtown South Bend’s Coveleski Stadium (9-7; April 20, 2005). u Evan Sharpley’s 10th-inning solo blast gave the Irish a thrilling 11-10 victory over Maine on March 4, 2008. u David Mills’ took a 1-1 fast ball from Cincinnati closer Andrew Burkett and deposited it over the left field wall for a walk-off home run that gave the Irish a thrilling 5-4 victory in the rubber game of the three-game series with the Bearcats on April 25, 2010. Mills’ heroics marked the first time an Eck Stadium crowd had been treated to a gameending home run since nearly four years earlier to the day (April 15, 2006), as Alex Nettey’s two-run bomb

Fighting Irish completed a rally that beat St. John’s, 7-5, and gave Notre Dame its 17th straight victory. u Ryan Bull lofted a 1-0 pitch over the right field wall for a walk-off home run to give Notre Dame a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh on March 23, 2012. He was the first Irish rookie to hit a game-ending round tripper since Porzel in 1999. GRADUATION RATE – In addition to their on-field success, the past 19 Notre Dame baseball teams (1995-2013) have combined for a 100-percent graduation rate (119-of-119), among players who completed their eligibility. u In 2013, Notre Dame baseball compiled a graduation rate of 100 percent, according to the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) measurements developed by the NCAA, for the ninth consecutive year, one of only a handful in the country to boast that honor. u The Irish were one of 18 NCAA Division I baseball programs to record a perfect GSR score in the most recent report (Oct. 2013) and one of four from a BCS conference. Joining Notre Dame with perfect GSR scores from a BCS conference were Duke, Miami and Stanford. HARDWOOD TO THE DIAMOND – Jean Dubuc was one of the top players on Notre Dame’s third
varsity basketball team in 1907. He later pitched nine years in Major League Baseball. As a baseball scout, he signed future Detroit Tigers’ Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg. In 1909, Clement Ulatowski was a starter for the Irish hoops squad. He became a MLB catcher and played in Weeghman Park before it was named Wrigley Field. u Rupert Mills and Dutch Bergman were team stalwarts for NVM from 1912-14. Each reached MLB. In 1914, they became the first two Notre Dame men to earn four varsity monograms in the same academic year. Only two other Irish athletes have earned that distinction, George Ratterman and Johnny Lujack. u Joe Jachym was a two-time basketball captain in the late 1920s (including the 1927 Helms’ Foundation National Championship team). After his Minor League baseball career ended, Jachym became the batting practice pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. u Lancelot Yank Terry came to Notre Dame to play basketball in the early 1930s, but was cut from the squad. He went out for the baseball team as a shortstop and was also cut. Ten years later, he was a pitcher in MLB. Around that same time, Billy Reed came to Notre Dame. He left Notre Dame after one year, but played Pro Basketball in the late 1940s and was a second baseman for the Boston Braves in 1952.
HOME RUNS – Notre Dame flirted with the team home run record from 1997-99, including a record-setting 66 home runs in 1997. The Irish posted another record in 1998 (73) before surging in 1999 for 70 HRs, with 12 players leaving the yard. Notre Dame totaled 384 home runs from 1997-2003, averaging nearly 45 long balls per season. u Catcher/DH Jeff Wagner (’96-99; 49) and infielder Brant Ust (’97-99; 46) made a run at the Notre Dame single-season home run record (20), set in 1991 by Frank Jacobs. Wagner hit 17 homers in 1997 while Ust hit 18 long balls in 1998 and 17 in the 1999 season, as a junior. u In 2009, senior shortstop Jeremy Barnes and junior centerfielder A.J. Pollock were the first set of Irish teammates to hit 10 or more home runs in one season since 2004. Barnes slugged 15 long balls, while Pollock added 10. u Eric Jagielo and Trey Mancini drilled 13 and 12 home runs, respectively, in 2012. The sophomore duo was the first set of Irish second-year players to hit double-digit home runs since ‘04. In fact, Jagielo and Mancini were the only set of BIG EAST teammates to each register at least 10 home runs that season. They entered the 2013 as the only retuning tandem in college baseball to have hit at least 12 home runs in 2012.
Pat Pesavento
IRON MEN – Notre Dame centerfielder Steve Stanley missed only 25 innings during his four seasons and started all 256 games of his career – the second-longest streak of consecutive starts in D-I baseball history (Clemson shortstop Khalil Greene started 272, also from 1999-02). Stanley bested the Irish record of 204 consecutive starts, set in the late 1980s by shortstop Pat Pesavento. Pesavento did not start the 19th game of his first season, the second game of a crosstown doubleheader with Bethel College on April 3, 1986. He then started the final 31 games of 1986, all 44 of ’87, each of the 61 games in ’88 and all of the marathon 68-game season in 1989. u Pesavento’s Notre Dame records for career hits (296) and runs (246) were broken by Stanley, with Pesavento also finishing with 94 stolen bases, 143 walks, 806 at-bats and a .367 batting average. He also played football at Notre Dame in 1984 and ’85, as a backup quarterback. u Stanley’s impressive streak included playing in 98.86 percent of the innings from 1999-2002 (2,166 of 2,191, all in CF), with a streak of 764.2 consecutive (2,294 outs) spanning 1999 (final 267.2) and 2000 (first 497). He played every inning in 249 of his 256 career games. Infielder Brant Ust (’97-99) started 179 straight games in his career, good for the third-longest streak in Notre Dame history. u Shortstop Brett Lilley (‘05-08) started all 231 games of his Notre Dame career, but the streak was not consecutive. u Second baseman Frank DeSico and 2013 graduate started 214 of the 217 games of his Irish career. In fact, he started 214 of Notre Dame’s last 216 games overall. DeSico missed back-to-back games against Michigan during the 2011 campaign.
Notre Dame’s 1998 team amassed a school-record 73 home runs, including (from left): junior CF Allen Greene (7), senior SS J.J. Brock (13), sophomore 3B Brant Ust (18), junior C Jeff Wagner (14), freshman LF Alec Porzel (7) and senior 1B Dan Leatherman (8).

MLB CONNECTIONS – In addition to numerous current Major League players who honed their craft with the Irish baseball program, a number of Notre Dame graduates have served as top executives in Major League Baseball: Cleveland Indians owner and CEO Lawrence Dolan (’54, ’56 Notre Dame Law), Indians chairman and CEO Paul Dolan (’83), MLB senior VP of standards and on-field operations/former Arizona Diamondbacks GM/VP Joe Garagiola, Jr. (’72), Oakland A’s president Mike Larry Dolan Joe Garagiola, Jr. Crowley (’85), recently-retired Los Angeles Dodgers VP of External Affairs Tommy Hawkins (’59, Mike Crowley Notre Dame basketball star), former G.M. of the Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and Montreal Expos John McHale Sr., MLB CIO and Executive VP of Administration John McHale Jr. (’71), MLB Senior Director of Special Events Brian O’Gara (’89) and former Tampa Bay owner/CEO/ VP Vince Naimoli (’59). u Former Notre Dame pitcher Brad Lidge ranked as one of Major League Baseball’s top rookies in his first full season with the Houston Astros and was the winning pitcher in the historic no-hitter Tommy Hawkins John McHale Brian O’Gara versus the New York Yankees on June 11, 2003 – the first no-hitter versus the Yankees since 1958 (6,980 games) and first suffered by the Yankees at home since 1952. Lidge – one of MLB’s elite closers (set National League record for strikeouts by a reliever in 2004) during his career – is one of eight recent Irish pitchers who have gone on to pitch in the big leagues (also Aaron Heilman with the N.Y. Mets, Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks, Jeff Samardzija with the Chicago Cubs, Jeff Manship with the Minnesota Twins and Colorado Rockies, John Axford with the San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals, Christian Parker with the Yankees, Kyle Weiland with the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros and David Phelps with the New York Yankees) while two early-1990s Notre Dame players – infielder Craig Counsell and LHP Chris Michalak – have played for multiple MLB teams. A.J. Pollock became’s the most recent former Irish player to reach MLB. He made his debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012. u Jim Gibbons was a three year starter at guard for Notre Dame (1950-52). He was also a pitcher/outfielder on the diamond. One of his twosport teammates was Dick Rosenthal, who later played in the NBA. A few years after graduation, Gibbons was the part-time assistant coach for both basketball and baseball. He was the primary recruiter for both teams. Partly because of his own two-sport background and partly because baseball had only two scholarships to divide up to fill their roster, Gibbons looked for basketball players who could also play baseball. u Gibbons came up with his best recruit for the class of 1961 ... a guy named Carl Yastrzemski. He was a shortstop in baseball but actually thought he was a better basketball player (as a sweet-shooting guard). Gibbons and “Yaz” remain friends to this day, taking long fishing trips every summer. A half dozen years ago, Yastrzemski made 23 special baseball rings, one for each year he spent in MLB, and gave them to 23 important people in his life. Gibbons received one. He wears it along with his 1960 MLB World Series ring, which he earned as a Minor League Manager in the Pittsburgh Pirates system.
12
u Not long after Yastrzemski, Gibbons brought in a trio of 6-foot-6 basketball players who were also pitchers. Two signed out of high school and bypassed Notre Dame for minor league baseball, but the third player was Ron Reed. He was a first round draft pick and played two years with the Detroit Pistons before starting a 19-year career in MLB. u Bob Arnzen was a three-year starter, twoyear captain and All-American for Notre Dame in basketball. In addition to his five-year career in the ABA and NBA, Arnzen spent three seasons as a pitcher in the minor leagues. HBP … PDQ – Former Irish outfielder Cody Rizzo (‘06) held the Notre Dame record for times hit-bypitch in a season (28, in 2003) and the career record of 84. His career total was tied for second in NCAA history at the time of his graduation. Rizzo helped Notre Dame set the team HBP record in 2004 (105; then fifth on the NCAA all-time list) and the Irish then set the NCAA record for HBPs in 2005, with 130 (plus 100 in 2006).

Brett Lilley’s 109 career hit-by-pitch are the most in NCAA Division I history.
u Former Irish shortstop Brett Lilley (‘07) led the way in 2005 with 30 HBPs, besting the record of Rizzo (who had 21 HBPs in both 2004 and 2005). Lilley’s 109 career HBPs sits atop the all-time NCAA list (for more see Lilley Stands Alone). HEILMAN – RHP Aaron Heilman – who made his Major League debut with the New York Mets in 2003 – completed his college career (1998-01) as one of the most accomplished student-athletes in Notre Dame history (see Four-Year All-Americans and 40-400 notes). He led the nation in ERA as a freshman in 1998 (1.61) before serving as one of the top pitchers on the U.S. National Team in the summer of 1999. He was a finalist for several 2001 national player-of-

His 2.49 career ERA was the best by an Irish pitcher since the early 1960s. u Heilman also posted the second-best career strikeout-to-walk ratio in the Notre Dame record book (3.66), won 25 of his final 26 decisions, had a 24-3 record and 2.14 ERA in road games, and averaged 33.0 innings per home run allowed. A 54th-round New York Yankees draft pick after his senior year at Logansport (Ind.) High School in 1997, Heilman went on to be the 31st overall pick in the 2000 Major league draft (Minnesota Twins compensatory “sandwich pick”) and then was selected by the Mets 18th overall in 2001 (after returning to Notre Dame for his senior year). HELD ACCOUNTABLE – Notre Dame shortstop Brett Lilley (‘07) completed his undergraduate degree in seven semesters, graduating as an accounting major following the 2007 fall semester. Lilley – who also completed Notre Dame’s accelerated one-year master’s in accountancy program – compiled a 3.95 GPA (19 A grades, two B+ grades) over one three-semester span (despite an advanced load/60 credits) and was named a 2007 first team Academic All-American. He ended the 2007 spring semester with a 3.81 cumulative GPA that included a 3.95 in the 2007 spring semester (21 credits), after posting a 3.91 in the 2006 fall term (21) and a 4.0 in-season GPA for the 2006 spring semester (18). His first six semesters saw Lilley receive 25 A’s, five A-minuses, four B-pluses, one B and a B-minus among his 36 classes. He added another first team Academic All-America nod in 2008, as well as the NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship. Lilley spent two
INDOOR FACILITY – Notre Dame benefits from practicing at one of the nation’s premier indoor college baseball facilities – the hitting and pitching facility adjacent to Eck Stadium. The 2000 addition, donated by alumnus Frank Eck, was renovated in 2012 and includes wall-to-wall synthetic turf floor; four full and two half batting cages on a track system which allows for retraction; permanent pitching mounds within the tunnels; and an “Iron Mike” pitching machine, with automatic ball feeder and remote control. The 120 x 80 facility includes men’s and women’s restrooms and a classroom for video analysis. IN MEMORY – 4,600 people attended the game at U.S. Cellular Field (home of the Chicago White Sox) on April 16, 2008 between Notre Dame and Northern Illinois with all the ticket proceeds (over $50,000) benefiting the NIU February 14 Scholarship Fund. The crowd was the largest for an Irish game since June 5, 2005 when 4,851 saw Florida defeat Notre Dame in the 2005 NCAA Gainesville Regional. JAKE – Clarence Kline needed only one name for those in baseball to know the personality involved. “Jake” Kline began his Notre Dame career in 1915 and earned three monograms while hitting .300 each year and captaining the 1917 squad. He is also one of only a handful of Irish players with three home runs in a game. Kline returned as freshman baseball coach in 1931, after serving in World War I and in various baseball leagues. In 1934, he became the school’s 15th coach ... and the 16th would not be needed for 42 seasons. Jake retired in 1975, after more than 1,000 games and 558 wins. He was voted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 1968, and the former Cartier Field was named Jake Kline Field in 1975. Kline was active in many Notre Dame functions until his death in 1989, at age 94. His spirit lives on – as the official title of the surface at Frank Eck Stadium is Jake Kline Field at Frank Eck Stadium. KANALEY, O’CONNOR & ZORICH – The most prestigious honor awarded to Notre Dame studentathletes is named in memory of a former baseball player. The Byron Kanaley Award has been presented since 1927 to senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as students and leaders. The awards are named in honor of the Weedsport, N.Y., native and 1904 graduate who was an outfielder with the Notre Dame baseball program. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served as a lay trustee of the University from 1915 until his death in 1960. Fourteen Irish baseball players
have received the award, including former MidAmerican Conference commissioner Rick Chryst (’83) and recent honorees Jeff Perconte (‘01), Mike Naumann (’01), Tom Thornton (’06) and Cole Johnson (‘11). u The quality of Notre Dame’s 2000 baseball senior class was validated when Perconte received a Kanaley Award and catcher Matt Nussbaum received the Francis Patrick O’Connor Award, presented to one male and one female student-athlete who embody team spirit, inspiration, caring, courage, honesty and patience. The award is named after a student-athlete (son of Bucky O’Connor, a 1940s guard on the Notre Dame football team) who died in 1973 following his freshman year. Steve Sollmann was a rare junior-year recipient of the O’Connor Award (in 2003). u Thornton received the Kanaley Award and also was honored by the athletics department with the Chris Zorich Award (in recognition of community service excellence). He joined former women’s basketball standout Ruth Riley (’01) as the first Notre Dame student-athletes ever to receive the Kanaley and Zorich awards. Tommy Chase captured the Zorich Award in 2012.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS – Baseball Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda (above left) has developed a special relationship with Notre Dame, providing a rousing speech at the pep rally prior to the 2001 Notre DameTennessee football game before serving as keynote speaker for the baseball team’s inaugural “Opening Night Dinner,” held Feb. 18, 2002, and moved to the Joyce Center Fieldhouse due to excessive ticket demand (nearly 1,000 attended). Lasorda later visited the Irish at a team breakfast at the 2002 College World Series and returned to campus for a CWS ring ceremony at Eck Stadium, on the day of the 2002 Notre Dame-Michigan football game.

George Gipp
MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES – Notre Dame’s history includes many multi-sport athletes. One of the best-known baseball/football players is Johnny Mohardt, who teamed with George Gipp in the backfield on Knute Rockne’s 1920 national championship team, captained the 1921 baseball squad and played professionally in both sports (his teammates included such legends as Red Grange and Ty Cobb). u Future athletic director Dick Rosenthal pulled off another double (1951-53), with two baseball letters and All-America basketball honors. Joining him on the diamond and the court was Jim Gibbons, who later served his alma mater as an assistant baseball coach and assistant vice-president. u Former Irish safety Pat Eilers won a Notre Dame baseball monogram in 1988 while Frank Jacobs (’91) – one of the top long-ball hitters in Irish history – started at tight end for the 1988 national championship football team. Irv Smith, a starting tight end in 1992, earned baseball letters in 1990 and 1991. Shortstop Paul Failla, a third-round California Angels draft pick (’94), was a backup QB on the 1993 football team while Scott Sollmann led the 1994 Irish with a .402 batting average and saw football action as a special teams player and reserve wideout (1994-95). Quarterback Joe Theismann – a 39th-round draft choice of the Minnesota Twins (’71) – played six baseball games with the Irish in 1970, also playing in various summer leagues. u The two-sport tradition has lived on in recent teams, as Jeff Samardzija quickly became one of Notre Dame’s top pitchers (5thround draft pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2006) while emerging as a two-time All-American and record-setting talent at wide receiver with the

Fighting Irish u The popular event returned in 2003, with nearly 1,000 fans turning out as Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry (above middle) served as a guest speaker. Bestselling author and avid baseball fan John Grisham attracted a crowd in excess of 1,400 for the 2004 event. The blockbuster speakers for the 2005 dinner – seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens and fellow Houston Astros pitcher Brad Lidge (a former standout with the Irish) – helped sell out the Joyce Center Fieldhouse (1,750 seats) in three weeks – with another sellout for the 2006 event featuring then Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis and former Notre Dame All-America pitcher Aaron Heilman (now with the Arizona Diamondbacks). The 2007 dinner – featuring big-league manager Jim Leyland and former Notre Dame standout Craig Counsell – was another sellout. u The 2008 event, which fell just shy of a fourth consecutive sellout, included MLB commissioner Bud Selig and former Irish shortstop Greg Lopez. u The 2009 dinner featured Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia and former Irish hurler and Chicago Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija (‘07). u The 2010 dinner featured former Atlanta Braves pitcher and Irish All-American Ron Reed, as well as current Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly.
LIDGE JOINS SELECT IRISH GROUP – Brad Lidge, who retired in 2012, became the sixth Irish baseball player to help their MLB club claim the World Series title. Just as he did all season in 2008, Lidge nailed down Philadelphia’s 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5, securing the Phillies’ second World Series championship in franchise history. Lidge, 41-for-41 in save chances during the regular season, earned his seventh save in as many tries in the postseason. u Before coming to Philadelphia, Lidge was best remembered for allowing that mammoth homer to St. Louis’ Albert Pujols in the 2005 NL championship series. But he was rejuvenated with the Phillies. Lidge was 2-0 with a 1.95 ERA and saved each of his 48 opportunities.

LILLEY STANDS ALONE – Former Notre Dame shortstop Brett Lilley (‘07) set an NCAA Division I record in the second inning of the 13-8 victory over Manchester College on April 9, 2008 when he was plunked for the 93rd time in his career, breaking the previous all-time NCAA Division I record held by Tony Hurtado of San Francisco (1997-2000). Lilley set the record in 203 games, 18 fewer than Hurtado. He had already broken the Notre Dame school record of 84 held by Cody Rizzo (2003-06) earlier in the season. Lilley would finish his career with 109 career HBPs, surpassing both the NCAA Division II and III records to claim the all-division mark. He was plunked by 81 different pitchers and 45 different teams over his career. Lilley was hit-by-pitch three or more times in a single game on five different occasions, including the Notre Dame single-game school record of four. Lilley came around to score 40 times on the 109 career HBPs. LILLEY ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN AGAIN – Brett Lilley (‘07) was named an ESPN The Magazine first team Academic All-American as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America for the second straight year in 2008. He was the first Irish baseball player to ever earn first team distinction on multiple occasions. Lilley was the school’s 199th alltime Academic All-America selection. His honor marks the 12th time this decade that a Notre Dame baseball player has received Academic All-America recognition. The Irish baseball program has now seen 18 different players combine for 25 Academic AllAmerica awards (since 1977), with Lilley becoming the 10th different Irish baseball player to be a first team Academic All-American. He was the seventh Notre Dame baseball player ever to repeat as an Academic All-American (the other six who have done so include Loughran, Peltier, Binkiewicz, Naumann, Stavisky and Sollmann). MAJOR STUDIES – The Notre Dame baseball team’s academic achievement is all the more noteworthy when considering some of the challenging majors, notably: 2001 graduate and Academic AllAmerica LHP Mike Naumann (science pre- professional), 2002 graduate Ken Meyer (civil engineering), 2003 graduate RHP Brandon Viloria (electrical engineering degree), 2006 graduate SS Greg Lopez (science pre-professional studies and anthropology double major) and 2011 graduate RHP Cole Johnson (science pre-professional studies and Spanish double major). u Matt Weglarz was enrolled in Notre Dame’s prestigious MBA program while serving as a catcher with the Irish in 2007. Brett Lilley (‘07), who earned his undergraduate degree in accounting in seven semesters, also completed Notre Dame’s accelerated one-year master’s in accountancy program.

Fighting Irish MR. PRESIDENT – Former Irish centerfielder Dick Nussbaum (‘74, ‘77) is a former president of the Notre Dame Alumni Association and the Notre Dame Monogram Club. Nussbaum led the 1973 Irish in batting average as a junior (.333) and totaled just four career errors while patrolling centerfield. He is part of one of the most successful father-son combinations in the history of Notre Dame baseball, as his son Matt played a number of positions with the Irish and was a two-year starter, in addition to serving as a senior captain in 2000 before later following in his father’s footsteps as a graduate of the Notre Dame Law School (‘04). NAMESAKES – There are two monogram-winning grandfather/grandson combinations in Notre Dame baseball: 3B Dennis O’Keefe (’31, captain) and OF Pat O’Keefe (lettered ’96, ’97); and pitchers Jack (’45) and Jess Stewart (’07). Outfielder Steve Andres (’06) was a fourth-generation Notre Dame student whose great-grandfather William Andres was an Irish catcher from 1916-18. NATIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK – Notre Dame’s Brian Stavisky opened 2001 by batting .692 (9-for-13) and reaching base 10 consecutive times at the Mississippi State Classic. He was recognized by Collegiate Baseball as national player of the week and was the National Collegiate Baseball Writers’ national “hitter of the week.” His 10 consecutive times on base included hits in his final two at-bats against New Orleans and a 3-for-3 (two walks) later that day against Mississippi State (plus hits in his first three at-bats against MSU the next day). u Aaron Heilman was named by Collegiate Baseball as national pitcher of the week twice in 2000, after 12 strikeouts in a 6-4 win over Georgia on March 5 and 18 strikeouts in a 10-inning, 3-1 victory at West Virginia on April 15. u The 25-1 win over South Alabama in the 2002 NCAAs resulted in 2B Steve Sollmann and RHP Grant Johnson earning national player and pitcherof-the-week honors. Catcher Sean Gaston earned national u player-of-the-week honors after starting his career 10-for-12 (.833) at the Florida Atlantic Classic on Feb. 27-29, 2004. First baseman/outfielder Craig Cooper u earned national hitter-of-the-week (NCBWA) honors in the final week of the 2005 regular season, after batting .565 with 13 RBI (13-for-23, eight runs, two home runs, two walks, HBP) in games against Pittsburgh, USC (2) and West Virginia (3). He repeated national player-of-the-week honors in 2006 (from Collegiate Baseball and Rivals), after batting a combined 10-for-19 with 13 RBI, nine runs scored and four home runs in midweek games versus Toledo and IPFW, plus the weekend series with Rutgers.
NCAA STAT CHAMPIONS – Eight Notre Dame players have ranked first in an official NCAA season stat: Shaun Fitzmaurice (0.34 triples/gm, 1964), Dan Peltier (32 doubles, 1989), Scott Sollmann (11 triples, 1995), Aaron Heilman (1.61 ERA, 1998; also 6th in 2001, at 1.74), Steve Stanley (“hardest to strike out” in 2002; 24.64 ABs per K; 271/11), Craig Cooper (79 runs, in 2006), Brett Lilley (31 HBP, 0.56 per game) and Adam Norton (fewest walks per 9 IP; 0.64 walks/9 IP). NINETIES – Notre Dame posted the seventhhighest winning percentage among D-I programs in the 1990s (.724, 440-168), behind Wichita State, Miami, Clemson, Florida State, LSU and Delaware. NUMBER ONE – The 2001 Notre Dame baseball team claimed the first No. 1 ranking in program history, in the April 23 Collegiate Baseball poll (also No. 1 in the Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America polls the following week). An unprecedented four Notre Dame teams were No. 1 in 2000-01 (also women’s soccer, men’s fencing and women’s basketball). OFFENSIVE MACHINE – Notre Dame has registered many noteworthy pitching accomplishments over the years but the Irish offense took their place in the sun during a 16-day stretch in 2002 – winning 23-1 over Detroit (7 inn.) and 25-1 over top seed South Alabama in the NCAA Regionals (both at Eck Stadium). It marked the only time in the program’s 120-year history that a team had posted multiple wins by 20-plus runs while it had been 101 years since a Notre Dame team had topped 23 runs more than once (the 1901 team had games with 23 and 25 runs). u The Detroit game featured Notre Dame’s 10 first-inning runs, with senior 3B Andrew Bushey collecting five of his record-tying seven RBI in the inning. Junior LF Brian Stavisky (5-for-5, five runs) joined Bushey (4-for-6) in leading a 28-hit attack (plus six BB). u That game was overshadowed in the win over South Alabama. Steve Sollmann (see “Double Domination”) set or tied several NCAA and Notre Dame records (6-for-7, seven RBI, six runs, home run, two 3B) and the team-record 32 hits were one shy of the NCAA Tournament record – with Notre Dame’s 59 total bases (five HR, three 3B, six 2B) blowing away the NCAA record (51). The Irish started that game batting 13-for-18, with top performers including C Paul O’Toole (5-for-5; second time Notre Dame teammates five-plus hits in a game, first since 1903), CF Steve Stanley (4-for-5, 4 R), four with three hits and reserve Brent Weiss (repeated his grand slam from Detroit game). The 25 runs ranked sixth in Notre Dame history (most since 1982) while the 24-run margin has been bested only once.

Samardzija did own a pair of single-season receiving records (receptions and yards), once held all three career receiving marks (receptions, yards and touchdowns) and shared another (single-season receiving touchdowns), but was ultimately passed by another two-sport star. u In 2009, Golden Tate was Notre Dame football’s 31st selection in school history to achieve unanimous All-America status, most alltime by any FBS school. u The 2009 Biletnikoff Award winner, Tate equaled or surpassed eight school records, including most catches and receiving yards in a season, tied for most touchdown catches in a season, most receiving yards in a career, most 100-yard receiving games in a season and career, most receiving yards per game in a season and tied for most consecutive games with a touchdown reception while ranking second in career TD receptions and finishing tied for third in career receptions. u Evan Sharpley and Eric Maust also suited up for the Irish on the gridiron in 2009. Sharpley remains the only Irish player to ever throw multiple touchdown passes (five in 2007) and hit multiple home runs (13 in 2008) in the same academic year. u Pat Connaughton is a guard on the Irish basketball team. He is the 66th Notre Dame student-athlete to compete in both basketball and baseball and the first to do so since Tom Hansen during the 1973-74 academic year.

NO-HITTERS ... AND NEAR-MISSES – Notre Dame pitchers have posted nine known no-hitters, including two by Norwood Gibson in the late 1800s. Recent solo no-hitters have come from Brian Piotrowicz (2-0 vs. Ball State; 5/11/88; 7 IP, 24 batters, 4 Ks, 3 BB) and LHP Don Wolfe (10-0 vs. Butler; 4/20/75; 7 IP, 12 Ks, 2 BB). The most recent 9-inning no-hitter came in 1949, when Bob Nemes, Dick Smullen and Tony Lipton each had 3.0 IP in a 12-0 win over Pensacola. Mike Mandjiak is the most recent to toss a solo 9-inning no-hitter (5-0 vs. University of Chicago, in ’38). One of the program’s biggest moments nearly happened May 12, 1999, when three pitchers came within one strike of the program’s first 9-inning no-hitter in 61 years. A pair of seniors faced 13 batters over the first four innings in that 1-0 win over eventual national champ Miami (UM’s first shutout loss in 248 games). Alex Shilliday (above left) kept Miami off-balance with his changeup (4 Ks, 2 BB, caught stealing) before lefty Chris McKeown (center) took the mound (2 IP, 4 Ks, 1 BB, pickoff to second). All-American Aaron Heilman (right) closed with five strong innings (72 pitches, 7 Ks, 4 groundouts, 3 BB), allowing a 2-out, 1-2 single by Mike Rodriguez in the 9th before striking out future USA teammate Manny Crespo (2-2 slider). u RHP Chris Niesel was one out away from no-hitting West Virginia in a 7-inning series opener on May 3, 2003, with the Irish winning (1-0) while Niesel had nine Ks, one walk and allowed a late bunt single. Fans at Eck Stadium on April 18, 2007, then were treated to a very rare sight – as LHP Sam Elam and Purdue RHP Matt Bischofff combined to allow no hits through the first 7-plus innings. Elam (6 BB, all in first 6 IP) allowed his only hit (9 IP) with two outs in the 8th while Bischoff’s perfect game ended on a leadoff single from Jeremy Barnes in the 9th (the Irish won, 1-0 in the 10th). Elam was the first Irish pitcher with a 1-hit, 9-inning stint since the record-setting 25-1 win over South Alabama in the 2002 NCAA Regional at Eck Stadium. RHP Grant Johnson faced only 30 batters that day and became the 13th pitcher ever to toss a nohitter or 1-hitter in the NCAAs (8 Ks, 1 BB, 2 hit batters). u The Irish equaled the output of 25 runs and scoring margin of 24 in a 25-1 rout of Georgetown on March 20, 2008. OHIO – Several Ohio natives have played key roles for Notre Dame baseball, with the 2002 College World Series team featuring five starters from Ohio, led by four seniors – DH Matt Bok (Akron), 3B/C Andrew Bushey (Boardman, near Youngstown), C/3B Paul O’Toole (Lakewood a suburb of Cleveland) and CF Steve Stanley (Upper Arlington, near Columbus) – plus sophomore 2B Steve Sollmann (Cincinnati). Another Upper Arlington native, recent SS Greg Lopez, joined the Irish in 2003 (as did former SS Brett Lilley, a North Canton product, in 2004). u The 2014 roster features three Buckeye State natives in senior C Forest Johnson and freshmen LHP Jim Orwick and RHP Ryan Smoyer. u Notre Dame has had 66 all-time monogram winners from the state of Ohio, which ranks fourthmost in school history. Illinois (154), Indiana (86) and New York (84) are only states with more all-time monogram winners than Ohio. OPPONENTS – Notre Dame has faced 312 opponents entering its 121st year of varsity baseball. First-time opponents in 2013 included Cal Poly,

Massachusetts, Quinnipiac and Rhode Island. u Five first-time foes are on the 2014 slate: Appalachian State, Maryland, Northeastern, Robert Morris (IL) and Youngstown State. After those games, the program will have faced 203 of the 299 current D-I teams (67.9%). u Notre Dame’s most opponents: Western Michigan (134), Northwestern (131), Michigan State (132), Michigan (131), Purdue (121) and Wisconsin (119).

u Noteworthy teams that Notre Dame has yet to face (pre2014): Oklahoma State, Maryland, VCU, East Carolina, Southern Mississippi and UNLV. PELTIER – Notre Dame outfielder Dan Peltier (1987-1989) was an academic and athletic AllAmerican and finished his career as the school leader in average (.406) in addition to 60 doubles and 202 RBI. Peltier played in the Major Leagues with the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants.

PLAYERS OF THE YEAR – Notre Dame players have been named conference player or pitcher of the year 13 times (since 1983). Third baseman Brant Ust and RHP Brad Lidge were the fourth set of teammates to win the BIG EAST’s top awards in the same season (1998), with RHP Aaron Heilman and CF Steve Stanley (2001) becoming the sixth pair to earn the top BIG EAST honors – followed by RHP Jeff Manship and 1B Craig Cooper in 2006. Heilman also earned the top pitcher honor in 2000 (as did Chris Niesel in 2003), with Stanley becoming the BIG EAST’s first repeat player of the year (2002). Ust was the third sophomore named BIG EAST Player of the Year, joining former Seton Hall great Mo Vaughn and UConn’s Jason Grabowski. In 2013, junior 3B Eric Jagielo ended Notre Dame’s time in the BIG EAST by earning player of the year honors. Three others were named player of the year in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (no pitcher award): CF Dan Peltier (1989), CF Eric Danapilis (1993) and LHP Tom Price (1994).
PHENOMS – Notre Dame produced five BIG EAST rookies of the year from 1996-2013: DH Jeff Wagner (1996), infielder Brant Ust (1997, pictured above right), 2B Steve Sollmann (2001), 3B Brett Lilley (2005) and 1B Trey Mancini (2011, pictured above left). Wagner set the Irish freshman home run record (10) only to see Ust hit 11 in 1997. Ust was the first freshman middle infielder ever named first team allBIG EAST and was a consensus Freshman AllAmerican. Sollmann made an impressive transition from the outfield and earned first team all-BIG EAST (as did Wagner and Ust) before being a consensus Freshman All-American – while Lilley was third team all-BIG EAST and a Freshman All-American. Aaron Heilman was second team all-conference, a consensus Freshman All-American and one of three players named by Collegiate Baseball as 1998 co-national freshman of the year. Steve Stanley was second team all-BIG EAST in 1999 (only freshman honored) and his classmate, Paul O’Toole, became the seventh Notre Dame player to earn first team Freshman All-America honors in the 1990s. Brian Stavisky was the only freshman position player to earn all-BIG EAST in 2000 (2nd team) before being named a consensus Freshman All-American (his 14 HRs ranked 4th in the nation among freshmen), an honor later earned by Grant Johnson (2002), Jeff Samardzija (2004), Kyle Weiland (2006) and Mancini (2011).

Fighting Irish u Mancini became the fifth freshman to ever lead Notre Dame in hitting. He actually led the Irish in each triple crown category (.323, 9, 34). Mancini was the first Irish rookie and eighth player in program history to win the team triple crown. PRIMETIME PLAYERS – Several Notre Dame players have cranked up their production in the NCAAs, including OF Kris Billmaier (’03) and 2B Steve Sollmann (‘04). Billmaier owned only a .271 career batting average in regular-season games but was a clutch performer in the NCAAs, batting .448 (39-for87) in 19 games of the 2000-03 NCAA Regionals, the 2002 Super Regional at Florida State and the 2002 College World Series (his career NCAA stats include 20 RBI, nine runs scored, eight doubles, a triple, nine walks). Sollmann hit .360 over his career, including .462 in 22 NCAA games (43-for-93, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored, one home run, three 3B, two 2B, eight BB, nine SB). Dating back to 1989 (when Notre Dame made its first NCAA appearance since 1970), Sollmann and Billmaier rank second and fourth on the Irish list for career NCAA Tournament batting average (min. 20 at-bats), with infielder Matt Haas sparkling for a .514 batting average in the 1992-94 Regionals (19-for-37, 15 RBI, six runs scored, one home run, 2B, three BB).
OMAHA – Notre Dame’s historic 2002 baseball season saw the Irish return to Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series – the program’s first CWS appearance since 1957. The Irish were a fan favorite and helped attract record-setting crowds to Rosenblatt Stadium, with a stunning 5-3 comeback victory over Rice sandwiched around a pair of narrow defeats to Stanford (4-3, 5-3).
RECORD DRAFT – During the 2013 MLB Draft, the Irish had three players selected early as 3B Eric Jagielo (1st - Yankees), RHP Dan Slania (5th TEAM USA (and more) – Four Notre Dame baseball players have been members of the U.S. National Team (as amateurs). Shaun Fitzmaurice was a member of the 1964 U.S. Olympic team that competed in Tokyo (baseball was an exhibition sport in ’64). Brant Ust was named to the elite 22-man U.S. team that posted a 32-10 record in the summer of ’98, advancing from a qualifying tournament in Nicaragua to the World Junior Championship in Italy. Ust – a regular at third base who finished as the USA’s third-leading hitter (.378, 20 RBI) – and his USA teammates were introduced in pregame ceremonies of Major League games at Arizona’s BankOne Ballpark and New York’s Shea Stadium. Aaron Heilman played on the 1999 Team USA squad (Collegiate National Team) that toured Japan and 10 U.S. states. Heilman ranked as one of the staff’s top pitchers (4-2, 2 saves, 3.84 ERA, 37 Ks, 12 BB, 41 H in 40 innings). Heilman and Ust were the only players on their respective USA teams who hailed from a school in the Midwest or Northeast. Grant Johnson then toured with Team USA in the summer of ’02 (international tournament in the Netherlands and World Championship in Italy), helping post a team record for staff ERA (1.48) with a solid showing in five outings (3 GS, 1.80, 2-1, 25 Ks, 13 BB, 11 H in 20 IP). u Matt Macri was one of two members of the 2000 U.S. Junior National Team who was named all-tournament at the Junior Pan Am Games (Sonora, Mexico). Johnson helped the ’01 U.S. Juniors post a best-ever silver-medal finish at the ’01 Pan Am Games in Cuba, winning both his outings. John Axford crossed paths with Johnson in Joplin, Mo., when he won a game vs. the U.S. as a member of Canada’s Youth National Team. Jeff Manship was a staff ace for the 2003 U.S. Junior National Team (18U), with his starts at the Junior Pan Am Cup (0.84, 1-0, 20 Ks, 5 BB, 6 H, 10.2 IP) including a 15-strikeout outing vs. homestanding Curacao (10-1, in 9-inning game). He earlier was a middle reliever with the 2001 U.S. Youth National Team (16U) that won the World Championship in Vera Cruz, Mexico. Cody Rizzo played for the 2000 U.S. Youth National Team (16U), winning the Pan Am Championship (Monterrey, Mexico). Joey Williamson was a top pitcher for the 2002 U.S. Youth National Team (16U) (Pan Am Games runner-up). Cavan Biggio played on the 18U National Team in 2013, recording the team’s fifth-highest batting average (.293). u Four former Notre Dame players recently competed with USA national teams that were comprised of professional players. Ust and Chris Michalak were members of the United States team that competed in the Netherlands at the 2005 Baseball World Cup while fellow Notre Dame baseball alum Brad Lidge was a member of the elite pitching staff for Team USA at the inaugural World Baseball Classic (held during March of 2006, in Japan, Puerto Rico and the U.S.). Axford pitched for Team Canada in the 2013 World Baseball Classic (held during March, in Japan, Taiwan, Puerto Rico and the U.S.).

PRO PARKS – Notre Dame has played at several pro parks, including two college games and the 2001 exhibition vs. the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at their spring training site, Florida Power Park (pictured), plus 2002, 2004 and 2005 games in Texas at both Dell Diamond (home of triple-A Astros affiliate Round Rock Express) and Wolff Stadium (double-A San Antonio Missions), plus 2006-12 games at Wolff and the 2008 Whataburger Classic at Whataburger Field (home of the double-A Corpus Christi Hooks, also an Astros affiliate). The Irish also played Dayton in 2005 at HoHoKam Park (Cubs springtraining; Mesa, Ariz.) while the 2006-13 BIG EAST Championships were held in Clearwater, Fla., at Bright House Networks Field (spring Former Notre Dame first baseman Joe training for the Philadelphia Phillies) and the 2007 BIG EAST Thaman visits with Vinny Castilla at the Championship was in Brooklyn, N.Y., at Keyspan Park (home to the 2001 exhibition vs. the Devil Rays. Brooklyn Cyclones, Mets single-A). Notre Dame played at another elite minor-league facility in 2007 (Coastal Federal Field; Baseball at the Beach tournament in Myrtle Beach, S.C.). u Previous Irish teams have played at four MLB parks, including the Kingdome (1995 and 1996), Three Rivers Stadium (1998), Metrodome (2000, 2003 and 2006) and U.S. Cellular Field (2008 and 2009). The Irish also have played BIG EAST Tournament games at minor-league Dodd Stadium (Norwich, Conn.), Waterfront Stadium (Trenton, N.J.) and Commerce Bank Ballpark (Bridgewater, N.J.) while Notre Dame and Michigan annually played at Old Kent Park (now 5th/3rd Bank Ballpark), near Grand Rapids from 1995-2008. The Irish also played at the 1998 ACC Blast in Orlando (Atlanta Braves’ spring training; Disney Sports Complex). Giants) and 1B Trey Mancini (8th - Orioles) became the first trio of ND players to all go in the top eight rounds of a draft in school history. REGIONAL FINALS – Notre Dame advanced to the NCAA regional final round every year from 2000-05. Only six others (Texas, Miami, Rice, South Carolina, Stanford and LSU) can make that claim.
REUNION – Notre Dame’s 1957 College World Series team (pictured above) held its first-ever reunion in the fall of 2001 – on campus the weekend of the Notre Dame-Michigan State football game. For many, it marked the first time they had seen one another since the 1957 CWS. The reunion proved to a be a good omen for the Irish baseball program, which eight months later made its first return to Omaha since that 1957 season. The reunion coincided with Notre Dame’s alumni game and the 1957 players had a chance to socialize with the 2002 squad at an informal dinner. Key players from the 1957 team were selected for a video interview session that documented the historic season. All starting position players were on hand, aside from deceased outfielder Gene Duffy. ROAD WARRIORS – Despite the sweep by USF to end the 2008 regular season, Notre Dame finished the regular season 11-5 on the road. The Irish won just four games on the road in all of 2007 (4-11).
18
Notre Dame not only registered a seven-game road winning streak in 2008, its longest since 2006, but the winning streak actually opened BIG EAST action. The Irish had never opened 7-0 on the road in conference play. In fact, Notre Dame had won seven straight BIG EAST road games just once before in school history (2006).
SHUTOUTS IN THE NCAAs – Chuck Symeon and Danny Tamayo’s careers at Notre Dame are separated by more than 40 seasons, yet they are the only members of an exclusive club – by virtue of tossing shutouts in NCAA Championship play (two of just three shutouts ever posted by Notre Dame in 68 alltime NCAA games). Symeon’s win capped his string of 14 shutout innings at the 1957 College World Series, as he opened the Colorado State game with four nohit innings (the Irish won 23-2) before returning the next day (June 10) to eliminate favorite Texas, 9-0. The junior paced himself by holding back his patented fastball while scattering five singles and five walks, with seven strikeouts, three double plays and a pickoff. Tamayo’s shutout came at the 2000 Starkville Regional, with the Irish facing elimination in front of a raucous crowd of 10,000-plus rooting mostly for homestanding Mississippi State. Tamayo – who had completed a successful return from “Tommy John” reconstructive surgery but had pitched sparingly in 2000 – shackled the potent Bulldogs with his tough changeup. His 105-pitch gem marked the first time since 1983 that Mississippi State was blanked in an NCAA regional (ending a 59-game regional scoring streak). Tamayo took a no-hitter into the 7th inning and faced just 30 batters, with one strikeout, 10 groundouts and 15 flyouts in his longest career outing (his previous best was five innings, two weeks earlier versus Rutgers).
u Notre Dame won 10 BIG EAST road games in 2008. The Irish fell one victory shy of breaking the single-season record for most BIG EAST victories in school history. The Irish won 10 league games in both 1999 and 2002. SCORING STREAKS – Notre Dame saw its teamrecord scoring streak end May 15, 2002 (11-0 vs. Rutgers) and made a run at breaking that record with a 215-game scoring streak from 2002-06 (ended in an 8-0 loss to Minnesota, at the Metrodome). The Irish scored in the final 57 games of 1999, every game of 2000 (64) and 2001 (63), and in the first 46 of 2002 – for a 230-game scoring streak that stretched back to a 12-0 loss at Florida International (Feb. 21, 1999). The latter streak included the final 21 games in 2002 and 63 games each year from 2003-05 (plus five games in 2006), yielding runs in 445 of 446 games prior to the shutout loss versus Minnesota. u The previous record, a 132-game scoring streak, began with the first game of the Paul Mainieri era, a 10-6 loss to Texas at the Anaheim Classic, on Feb. 24, 1995 (the Irish were shut out by Auburn, 8-0, in the 1994 NCAAs at Clemson). That streak ended versus Texas Pan-American (2-0) in a 7-inning game on March 10, 1997 (in San Antonio). Other previous long scoring streaks were 121 (April 23, 1930-May 26, 1937) and 103 (May 25, 1907-May 17, 1912).

REGIONALS – Notre Dame’s Eck Stadium was the site of NCAA Regional action in 1999, 2001, ’02 and ’04 (only Florida State, LSU, Stanford and Miami hosted more Regionals in that six-year span). Cal State Fullerton advanced from the ’99 Regional, which included the Irish, Creighton and Michigan. The event was well received by the community, with a near-record crowd of more than 2,100 for the opener versus Creighton (pictured). Notre Dame previously had played host to NCAA baseball action in 1949 and ’59 (when opening games were comprised of geographically-based playoffs). Eck Stadium welcomed UC Santa Barbara, Florida International and Wisconsin-Milwaukee to tangle with Notre Dame in the 2001 Regional, with the Irish then winning the 2002 Regional that featured South Alabama, Ohio State and Kent State – while the 2004 participants included UC Irvine, Kent State and eventual College World Series entrant Arizona.

Fighting Irish SIX-HIT CYCLE – Alec Porzel was more than just an observer in Notre Dame’s 22-18 loss to Pittsburgh on May 7, 2000, at Eck Stadium – batting 6-for-6 and hitting for the cycle, including a traditional and an inside-the-park home run. He was the first player with six hits in 108 years of Notre Dame baseball and first to hit for the cycle since at least the mid-1980s (box scores incomplete) – with the addition of an inside-the-park home run making his day more unique. Porzel tied the BIG EAST hit record and his 15 total bases were three shy of that BIG EAST record. The six-hit game included: an RBI triple in the 1st; a base hit that kicked past the sliding centerfielder and rolled to the track for a 3rd-inning HR; a single to center in the 5th; and three straight leadoff hits in the 7th (double), 8th (home run) and 9th (single). STREAK BUSTERS – Notre Dame’s 10-4 win in the 2002 NCAA Super Regionals halted Florida State’s 25-game win streak, an Atlantic Coast Conference record and one of the longest streaks in D-I baseball history. Ending noteworthy streaks has become a tradition for Notre Dame teams: u Nov. 17, 1957 – Dick Lynch’s TD provides the only scoring as the Notre Dame football team wins at 2nd-ranked Oklahoma (7-0), ending the Sooners’ 47-game win streak (still the NCAA record). u Jan. 19, 1974 – Dwight Clay’s jumper from the corner provides the winning points as the Irish basketball team halts UCLA’s 88-game win streak (still NCAA record) in a 71-70 thriller. u Oct. 2, 1994 – The Notre Dame women’s soccer team plays to a 0-0 tie with perennial power North Carolina in St. Louis, stopping UNC’s 92-game win streak … one year later, the Irish claim the national title with College Cup wins over UNC and Portland.
ROSENBLATT – Former Irish head coach (‘95-06) and current LSU skipper Paul Manieiri and former Notre Dame assistant coach (‘95-’03) and current Virginia headman Brian O’Connor faced off against one another in Omaha at the 2009 CWS. u In addition to both Manieiri and O’Connor, each had Irish connections on their staff. David Grewe, LSU’s associate head coach, was an assistant at Notre Dame from ‘03-’05. Plus, Javi Sanchez, LSU’s hitting coach, played for the Irish (‘02-’04). Ross Brezovsky, LSU’s coordinator of baseball operations, also played at Notre Dame from ‘05-’08. u Eddie Smith was a volunteer assistant under O’Connor at Virginia and he played two seasons for the Irish and graduated in ‘06. u Each of the last three Notre Dame head coaches were in Omaha that week. Manieiri, Pat Murphy and Larry Gallo were all present. Murphy coached the Irish from ‘88-’94 before going to Arizona State. Gallo coached at Notre Dame from ‘81-’87. Gallo was an associate AD at North Carolina and oversaw baseball. u Mike Rooney, the Director of Special Projects and External Affairs at Arizona State is also a Notre Dame grad. Rooney was an assistant under Murphy from ‘98-’04 at ASU. He played four years under Murphy at Notre Dame and graduated in ‘92. u In all, a total of nine players, coaches and administrators with Irish ties competed in the 2009 CWS. (pictured above) 30-30 RARITY – Shortstop Alec Porzel became the first Irish player ever to reach 30 career home runs (vs. Detroit in 2001) and 30 stolen bases, totaling 37 home runs and 32 stolen bases from 1998-2001 (in 239 games played). Catcher Paul O’Toole (31 home runs, 54 stolen bases, 239 games played) joined Porzel in the unique 30-30 distinction, blasting his 30th home run midway through the 2002 season.
u Jan. 15, 2001 – Notre Dame women’s basketball stuns Connecticut, 92-76, to halt UConn’s 30-game win streak and help vault Notre Dame on to the national title. u June 7, 2002 – Notre Dame baseball ends No. 1 Florida State’s 25-game win streak (10-4, at Howser Stadium), in first game of NCAA Super Regional. SUPER SAVER – Dan Slania, a 2013 fifth-round draft pick by the San Francisco Giants finished his three-year Irish career with a school-record 30 saves to blow past the old record of 25 held by former standout reliever and MLB pitcher Kyle Weiland (‘06-’08). Slania registered just five as a freshman but notched 12 as a sophomore and 13 as a junior to secure the Notre Dame school record.
Seattle (Kingdome); Houston, San Antonio, Round Rock and Corpus Christi, Texas; 13 Florida cities (Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Tallahassee, Boca Raton, Clearwater, DeLand, Ft. Myers, Sarasota and Palm Beach), Atlanta, New Orleans and Baton Rouge; Boston, Washington, D.C., N.Y. City, Minneapolis (Metrodome), Myrtle Beach (S.C.), Cary (N.C.), and Mesa, Phoenix and Tempe, Ariz. u Notre Dame will add trips to Boca Raton, Fla., and Raleigh, N.C., in 2014.
THREE-SPORT ATHLETE – Kevin Hardy was one of the most versatile athletes in Notre Dame history, becoming the first Notre Dame athlete in 19 years to monogram in three sports for the same academic year (1964-65). The football All-American (1966, 1967) lettered on the 1964-65 basketball team and led the 1967 baseball team in batting (.398). TRAVEL – Notre Dame regularly travels to topnotch facilities and noteworthy cities. Since 1995, the Irish have visited: Fullerton, Long Beach, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles, Calif.;
TRIPLE CROWNS – Notre Dame’s 2004 offense produced the BIG EAST’s leaders in batting average during league play (sophomore OF Craig Cooper, .470), league home runs (seven, by junior 3B Matt Macri) and league RBI (33, by sophomore DH Matt Bransfield) – the first time since 1989 (third time in league’s history) that the same team had produced the BIG EAST champion in all three triple-crown categories. Cooper had his own triple feat in 2004, as he led the BIG EAST in conference batting, slugging percentage (.712) and on-base percentage (.545). Former Notre Dame standout Brant Ust is the only other BIG EAST player to lead the league in all three categories (1998). Cooper repeated his unique feat in 2006, with a .481 batting average, .759 slugging percentage and a .573 on-base percentage.

SUMMER STARS – A.J. Pollock (pictured immediate right) was named Cape Cod League Pat Sorenti Most Valuable Player in 2008. He joins a list that includes current MLB players Evan Longoria, Mike Fontenot, Carlos Pena, Darin Erstad and Jason Varitek. Pollock was just the second Notre Dame (and BIG EAST for that matter) player to ever capture Cape Cod League MVP. Dick Licini (‘68) captured the award in 1968 as a first baseman for the Bourne Braves. u Pollock finished the regular season on the Cape leading the league in hits (61), doubles (15) and slugging percentage (.556). He ranked second in batting average at .377 -- a clip that remained above .300 all summer long -- as well as second in extra-base hits with 20. Pollock also ranked third in on-base percentage (.455) and runs scored (35). He smacked four home runs, drove in 25 RBI and stole 11 bases. Pollock started in center field as a West Division All-Star, going 2-for-3 at the plate, including a solo home run. He proved to be the perfect leadoff hitter for Falmouth, relying on his ability to make contact and put the ball in play, striking out only 24 times in 162 at-bats. u Three Notre Dame players made big names for themselves in the 2000 Cape Cod League, the nation’s premier wood-bat summer league. Centerfielder Steve Stanley, outfielder Brian Stavisky and catcher Paul O’Toole were starters for the 2000 CCL all-star game (only Georgia Tech, with three, could match the Irish). Stanley led the league with .329 batting (2nd with 31 run scored, 20 stolen bases) as leadoff man for the Brewster Whitecaps, alongside O’Toole (5th in the league with four home runs). Stavisky, the all-star MVP, was second in the CCL batting race (.324; 4th with 26 RBI, plus three home runs) and saw his Hyannis Mets fall to Brewster in the title game, 6-2. u Stavisky was an all-star with Hyannis in 2001, as was Irish second baseman Steve Sollmann with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, while Stanley was a 2001 summer All-American with the Great Lakes League’s Delaware (Ohio) Cows. Several Notre Dame players led the Hays (Kan.) Larks to the title game of the 2000 and 2001 National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita: 3B Andrew Bushey and RHPs Matt Buchmeier and Drew Duff (in 2000), and then RHP J.P. Gagne and 1B Joe Thaman (in 2001). Gagne returned to the NBC World Series in 2002, as a starter with the Alaska Goldpanners team that won the national title (2.98 ERA, 34 strikeouts, 13 walks, 46 hits allowed in 9 games/7 starts and 51.1 IP). u Four freshmen on Notre Dame’s 2002 squad were invited to pitch in the CCL during the summer of ’02 (Grant Johnson was slated to pitch for Brewster but was named to Team USA). John Axford pitched for Hyannis and Chris Niesel (3.42, 3-1, 25 strikeouts, seven walks, 18 hits allowed in 23.2 IP) with the Falmouth Commodores. Several were top performers in the summer of ’03: 3B Matt Macri (2nd in CCL with seven home runs; Brewster), Niesel (5th in CCL with seven saves; Falmouth), OF Craig Cooper (.337, 38 RBI, five home runs, 24 stolen bases; Hays), closer Ryan Doherty (0.46, three saves, 28 strikeouts, 19.2 IP; Delaware) and DH Matt Bransfield (.381, 12 home runs, 36 RBI; Colorado Sox), who later was a 2005 Alaska League all-star with the Mat-Su Miners (catcher Sean Gaston was a 2005 and 2006 CCL all-star with the Cotuit Kettleers). u Trey Mancini (pictured above second from left) (.296, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, two triples, seven home runs, 34 RBI) of the Holyoke Blue Sox was named the 2011 New England Collegiate Baseball League Rookie of the Year. Mancini, who earned second-team all-NECBL, started for the Western Division in the 2011 NECBL All-Star Game. Eric Jagielo (pictured above furthest right) (.313, 26 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple, three home runs, 28 RBI) was also named second-team all-NECBL. Mancini, Jagielo and Joe Hudson all participated in the NECBL vs. Team USA exhibition game at Fenway Park in 2011. u Dan Slania (pictured above second from right) led the Cape with 10 saves in 2012. He was selected as the 2012 winner of the Russ Ford Award, given annually to the circuit’s top relief pitcher. Slania helped the Kettleers post the league’s best regular-season record, 30-14. He finished 2-0 with a 1.52 ERA, striking out 39. Jagielo hit .291, drilled 13 home runs (second most on the Cape) and collected 29 RBI. Both Slania and Jagielo were named to the postseason all-Cape Cod League squad. Slania captured the Russ Ford Award as the league’s top relief pitcher. TRIPLE CROWNS 2.0 – Trey Mancini was the first Notre Dame rookie and eighth player in program history to lead Notre Dame in all three triple-crown categories (batting average, home runs and RBI). u The other seven players to accomplish the feat since 1948 include: Ryan Connolly (2010), Dan Peltier (1989), Mike Trudeau (1985), George Sefcik (1962), Dick O’Leary (1961) and Elmer Kohorst (1956, although tied for home run lead). WIN STREAKS – Notre Dame’s 17-game win streak in 2003 (March 24-April 14) was second-longest in the program’s history and longest since 1991 – until the 2006 team’s 23-game win streak (March
20
25-April 25) that is longest in the 119-years of Notre Dame baseball. The previous record was an 18-game streak in 1991 while the 1907 team won 17 straight (part of a 21-game overall win streak, spanning 1906-07). Notre Dame hit .353 in the 23-game win streak, with a 2.81 staff ERA and only 24 errors during that 2006 month-long span without a loss. u Notre Dame recorded an 11-game winning streak in 2008, which began on April 4 and ended on April 19. The streak was the second longest in the country at the time. All but five (1997, 2000, 2005, 2007 and 2010) of the 15 previous seasons has featured at least one double-digit winning streak (with two in both 1998 and 2004). Over the streak, the Irish

outscored their opponents, 92-38 (8.4 to 3.5). Notre Dame batted .367 and registered a 2.91 earned run average. ZOLNOWSKI – RHP Ray Zolnowski is the final player on ND baseball’s list of 914 letterwinners.

RADIO / TELEVISION INFORMATION
Fighting Irish
ALL IRISH BASEBALL GAMES TO BE BROADCAST LIVE ON RADIO IN SOUTH BEND For the 13th consecutive season, the Notre Dame baseball program has arranged for a broadcast schedule that will provide commercial-station radio coverage of the entire 55game regular-season schedule (and all postseason). The 2014 season continues its relationship with LeSEA Broadcasting Network and the South Bend station WHME 103.1 FM, which reaches a listening audience of approximately 1.5 million people across northern Indiana and southwest Michigan. All radio broadcasts also can be heard live on the Internet via real-audio software programs, with a link available on the Notre Dame athletic website (www.UND.com)
The primary voice of Irish baseball for the upcoming campaign is WHME sports director Chuck Freeby, his sixth year broadcasting games for Notre Dame. An award-winning journalist and a former voice of Notre Dame hockey, Freeby has received honors for his reporting in both news and sports. Born in South Bend, Indiana, he is a 1982 graduate of Elkhart Central High School. In 1986, he received a B.A. in American Studies from the University of Notre Dame. Upon graduation, he served as a sportscaster for WTRC Radio in Indiana, producer for WGN Radio in Chicago, an assistant producer for ESPN Sports and a sportswriter for The Elkhart Truth…all at the same
time. For 17 years, he received local acclaim as a sports anchor/reporter at WNDU-TV in South Bend, where Chuck pioneered the station’s prep sports coverage. Now, in addition to his Harvest Show duties, Chuck serves as sports director at LeSEA’s South Bend affiliate, WHME, where he calls play-byplay on the high school football and basketball “Game of the Week,” various college sports events and provides morning sports reports on Pulse FM. He served as host for Notre Dame coaches’ shows for several years. Chuck and his wife, Diane, have six children and live in South Bend.

MIK AOKI Head Coach 14th Year Overall Fourth Year at Notre Dame Davidson ‘90
Mik Aoki (pronounced A-O-key), the only head baseball coach to lead Boston College to an NCAA Regional since 1967, heads into his fourth year in 2014 as the 20th head baseball coach at the University of Notre Dame. Aoki has not only improved the Irish win total in each of his first three seasons, but has done so despite completely overhauling the Notre Dame roster. In 2013, Notre Dame entered the BIG EAST Tournament as the No. 7 seed, but made a run to the conference finals after shutting out Seton Hall (5-0) and gaining revenge from a mid-season sweep by taking down Pittsburgh in two consecutive games, 5-3 and 3-2. Despite losing to UConn in the finals, the Irish finished the season at 34-24, knocking off four ranked foes including two victories over then-No. 20 Cal Poly and one over then-No. 10 Oklahoma along the way. The 34 wins were the most since the Irish THE AOKI FILE Hire Date: July 13, 2010 Career Record: 298-343-2 (.465/13) Career D-I Record: 289-328-2 (.469/12) At Notre Dame: 88-80-1 (.527/3) At Boston College: 114-108-1 (.513/4) At Columbia: 87-140 (.383/5) At Manchester CC: 9-15 (.375/1) Birthplace: Yokohama, Japan Hometown: Plymouth, Mass.

won 36 in 2009, two seasons before Aoki arrived on campus. The Irish opened the 2013 campaign with wins in 19 of their first 28 games, including the first sweep of Tulane at its home venue by a non-conference opponent since 2007, to storm into the national rankings. They opened at No. 22 after posting a 3-1 record at the USA Baseball-Irish Classic, ultimately reaching a high of No. 15 after wins over USC, No. 10 Oklahoma and a series victory at Cal Poly. Helping Notre Dame’s cause all year was steady play in the field highlighted by a .970 fielding percentage and 55 double plays (both second in BIG EAST) and a little bit of power (26 home runs – third in BIG EAST) mixed with the ability to manufacture runs – 64 sacrifice bunts (first in league) and 33 sacrifice flies (second in BIG EAST). On the mound, the Irish pitchers had the best walks per nine innings ratio (2.59) in the league (15th nationally) and were second in strikeouts-to-walks ratio (2.25). Leading the Irish charge was second team AllAmerican and BIG EAST Player of the Year Eric Jagielo (3B), third team All-American and first team all-conference honoree Trey Mancini (1B), first team all-BIG EAST selection Adam Norton (RHP), second team allleague choice Dan Slania (RHP) and third team all-BIG EAST honoree Ryan Bull (OF). In June 2013, Jagielo was drafted 26th overall by the New York Yankees, becoming the latest of five Notre Dame players to be drafted in the first round of the MLB draft since 1965. In addition, Slania went in the fifth round to the San Francisco Giants, Mancini in the eighth to the Baltimore Orioles and senior Charlie Markson in the 38th to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Irish went 31-27 overall and 14-13 in the BIG EAST in 2012 with the youngest team in the conference. Notre Dame led the BIG EAST in most starts by true freshmen (177), most starts by a different true freshman (11) and highest average of true freshman starters per game (3.05). In fact, no other league foe started more than six different freshmen or registered 140 total starts by rookies. The 31 victories in `12 were the most by the Irish since 2009. Notre Dame managed just 23 and 22, respectively, in 2011 and 2010.

The Irish also recorded their most significant victory in the last decade. Notre Dame upended No. 11 LSU, 7-1, on March 11 in front of 10,347 at Alex Box Stadium. The Irish have not defeated a higher-ranked opponent on the road since capping off their historic run to Omaha with a 3-1 victory over No. 1 Florida State on June 10, 2002. Notre Dame captured five of its nine BIG EAST series in `12, including four of its last six. The Irish had not collected more conference series victories in one season since 2006. The `06 Notre Dame club captured seven BIG EAST series and posted a 45-17-1 overall record and 21-5-1 mark in conference play. The Irish also picked up multiple victories in the BIG EAST tournament and advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 2009. In fact, it only marked the second time the Irish have accomplished the feat since 2006. Notre Dame equaled the school record set in 1981 and 1990 with 11 victories by a single run. The Irish actually played in 18 games decided by the slimmest of margins. Over the Aoki era, 78 of Notre Dame’s 169 games have been decided by two runs or less. In his first season at Notre Dame, Aoki guided the Irish to a 23-29-1 record and 13-13 mark in the BIG EAST in 2011 - leading Notre Dame back to the conference tournament (an accomplishment not reached in 2010). The Irish finished just one half game out of fourth in the league regular season standings. Notre Dame competed against a challenging schedule with an inexperienced and injury-depleted squad. The Irish played without a trio of key lefthanded pitchers, including 2010 No. 2 starter Steve Sabatino. The Irish had lost four of their top five hitters, over 50 percent of their run production and nearly 70 percent of their home run output from `10 (all to graduation). Notre Dame also broke out six first-year everyday players, including a pair of freshmen (Jagielo and Mancini) in the middle of the Irish batting order. Despite those obvious challenges and 14 games against schools that ultimately reached the NCAA Regionals, including five against NCAA Super Regional qualifier Connecticut, the Irish went toe-totoe with the demanding slate. Notre Dame managed only five victories against tournament-bound clubs,

but two of the losses came by a single run and two more by two runs. Notre Dame set a school record for one-run contests in 2011 (20) and finished just a game shy of the school record for one-run victories (10). The Irish played three other extra-inning games where they either tied (Gonzaga) or lost by two runs (West Virginia, Michigan). The Irish had two BIG EAST series in which all three games were decided by one run (Georgetown and Seton Hall). Notre Dame’s victory over West Virginia on May 26 was the first BIG EAST tournament game decided by a 1-0 score since 2000 and only the third in tournament history. The Irish played in nine more games decided by two runs and nine more decided by three runs. In all, less than three runs decided 38 of Notre Dame’s 53 games. The Irish were carried all season by one of the top pitching staffs in the BIG EAST. Notre Dame finished 2011 with a 3.42 ERA (down from 5.95 in 2010), which was the best by an Irish staff since 2004 (3.36). Notre Dame actually took a 2.82 ERA into the final week of the regular season, which would have been the lowest by an Irish club since 1960 (2.60, school record) and ranked 15th in the NCAA at the time. Notre Dame’s starting pitchers registered a quality start (pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs) in 33 of 53 games for the Irish. The 33 quality starts tripled Notre Dame’s total 2010(11). The Irish owned a 2.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio, which was light years better than the total of 1.73 from `10. Notre Dame led the BIG EAST in fewest walks by a large margin. The Irish walked only 143 batters in 481.2 innings, good for a 2.67 average per nine innings - slightly off the school record for fewest walks per nine innings (2.48 in 2001), but still ranked third all-time. The effort was even more impressive when you consider Notre Dame averaged 3.65 walks per nine innings in 2010 and 3.82 per nine innings in 2009. The Irish pitching staff ranked first or second in the conference in sacrifice bunts allowed, walks

Five of those picks were pitchers, including Dan Slania, a fifth round selection of the San Francisco Giants in 2013 and Brian Dupra, a seventh-round selection of the Washington Nationals in 2011. Five players have been drafted in the top 10 rounds, including three in the 2013 draft, which marked only the second time in school history (2004) that feat had been accomplished. Those drafted included Eric Jagielo (26th pick – Yankees), Slania and Trey Mancini (8th round – Orioles). The other 10th round or better draft picks are Dupra and Joe Hudson, a sixth-round pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2012. Aoki arrived in South Bend after a four-year stint as the Eagle head coach in Chestnut Hill, Mass. He brought the Boston College baseball program into the national forefront after leading the Eagles’ to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in 2009 and 2010 (the only two ACC Tournament appearances in
school history) and their first NCAA Regional appearance in 42 years (2009). In 2009, the Eagles’ nearly knocked off numberone national seed Texas in an NCAA-record 25-inning game that would have propelled them to the finals of the `09 Austin Regional and given Boston College a great chance at reaching its first Super Regional in program history. Aoki’s `09 squad qualified for its first ACC Tournament and made a statement there as well. Entering the tournament needing at least one win to likely ensure a spot in an NCAA regional, the Eagles lost their first game to seventh-ranked Florida State. Boston College responded emphatically, beating 13th-ranked Georgia Tech and 16th-ranked Miami in the next two games by a combined score of 17-4 to earn its bid to Austin. The Eagles’ 34-26 overall record qualified as their best since 2005 and their 13-15 record in ACC play marked the most league wins since joining the conference in 2006 (Boston College eclipsed that total in 2010 with 14). The New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association tabbed Boston College as its team of the year for its performance. Despite the loss of two top-50 overall draft picks following the `09 campaign, Boston College finished 30-28 overall (14-16 ACC) and qualified for 2010 ACC Tournament. The Eagles took two of three to open the season at perennial power Tulane and recorded five victories over foes ranked in the top 10, including Miami (twice), Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech. Aoki coached 28 Major League Baseball draft picks and four free agent signees during his tenure at Boston College in 2004. Three of those draft picks were first-round selections in Mike Belfiore, Chris Lambert and Tony Sanchez. In addition, 16 of those 28 picks have been pitchers and two (Lambert, Joe Martinez) have reached the Major League level.

MIK AOKI In the 2010 first-year MLB player draft, Boston College had six players selected, most in program history. In fact, three Eagles were taken in the first 10 rounds of the draft - another program first. Boston College also had a major presence in the `09 draft, as Sanchez was selected fourth overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the highest pick ever for the Eagles’ baseball program. Belfiore was then taken in Comp Round A (45th overall) by the Arizona Diamondbacks, making the pair the two highest draft picks taken in the same draft from Boston College. Aoki mentored six all-ACC performers in his four seasons as head coach, including the program’s only two first-team nominees in Sanchez (2009) and Mickey Wiswall (2010). Four Eagles earned all-conference honors in 2009, the most since joining the ACC. Aoki’s teams also produced eight all-New England selections, five all-ACC Academic Team members and two All-Americans (Belfiore and Sanchez). Prior to being named Boston College head coach, Aoki, a Plymouth, Mass. native, spent three seasons (2004-06) as pitching coach for the Eagles. In 2004, he oversaw a staff that had five pitchers sign professional contracts at season’s end. Prior to his arrival in Chestnut Hill, Aoki spent five years (1999-2003) as the Columbia head coach, leading the Lions to an 87-140 mark during that span. His teams won 20 or more games in each of his last three seasons. Before the Aoki era, the Lions had not posted a 20-win season since 1987. Before assuming his duties at Columbia, Aoki spent four years (1995-98) as assistant coach at Dartmouth. In that position, he focused his efforts on the team’s infielders and hitters, while also serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator. He began his coaching career in 1992 as head coach at Manchester (Conn.) Community College, then served two seasons (1993-94) as an assistant coach at Ohio University. Born in Yokohama, Japan, and raised in Plymouth, Mass., Aoki attended Milton Academy in Milton, Mass. He earned four letters and started for three years in baseball at Davidson College (1987-90), as a second baseman, third baseman and catcher. He still ranks among the school’s career leaders in slugging percentage (.547) and batting average (.335). In his senior season (1990), he finished with a teamleading .365 batting average and 20 doubles. He also cracked 13 home runs in 1988, with two of those homers being grand slams. Aoki owns an undergraduate degree from Davidson in English (1990) and a master’s degree from Ohio University in physical education in athletic administration (1994). Aoki played one summer of professional baseball in the Netherlands -- for the HCAW Tigers of the Dutch Major League -- following his graduation.

JESSE WOODS Assistant Coach Ninth Year Overall Fourth Year at Notre Dame Wheaton College (Mass.) ‘04
Jesse Woods, who spent three seasons coaching at Boston College, enters his fourth year at Notre Dame in 2014 where he oversees the catchers and hitters in addition to splitting recruiting efforts with fellow assistant Chuck Ristano. In previous seasons, Woods has also worked with the outfielders. The Irish continued their offensive progression under Woods in 2013, as the squad hit .276 on the year, showing power with 26 homers (third in BIG EAST) but also displaying a knack for manufacturing runs by leading the league (25th nationally) in sacrifice bunts (64) and finishing second (24th nationally) in sacrifice flies (33). Two of the most prolific offensive players in school history capped off their careers in 2013 as second team All-American and BIG EAST Player of the Year Eric Jagielo (26th overall New York Yankees) and third team All-American and first team all-conference performer Trey Mancini (eighth round - Baltimore Orioles) both turned sensational junior campaigns into high draft picks in the 2013 MLB Draft. Jagielo led the BIG EAST in on-base percentage (.500 – sixth nationally) and slugging percentage (.633 – 25th nationally), finished second in batting average (.388 – 18th nationally) and home runs (9), fourth in total bases
(124), fifth in doubles (19) and RBI (53), seventh in sacrifice flies (6) and eighth in walks (35). Mancini, meanwhile, placed first in the BIG EAST in batting average (.389 – 15th nationally), triples (7 – sixth nationally) and total bases (138), second in hits (89 – 22nd nationally) and third in RBI (54), sacrifice flies (8 – 18th nationally) and slugging percentage (.603). In addition to Jagielo and Mancini, sophomore outfielder Ryan Bull earned third team all-BIG EAST honors after a breakout year where he totaled 69 hits (.319 avg.) and 27 walks and senior Frank DeSico closed out a strong career by stealing a team-high 19 bases (11th BIG EAST) and tying for the team-high with 47 runs scored. Fellow senior outfielder Charlie Markson fielded at a .974 rate and had 11 stolen bases in his final campaign before being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 38th round (1,142nd pick). Notre Dame proved to be a vastly improved offensive club under Woods’ second year of tutelage in 2012. After the Irish batted .239 in 2011 - the lowest batting average for an Irish squad since 1978 (the last year when the NCAA still used wooden bats) - Notre Dame raised its team average by nearly 40 points to .277. In `11, the Irish had 12 or more hits in just five games, but recorded 18 such games in ‘12. Notre Dame collected at least 10 hits in 28 games in ‘12 as opposed to 14 double-digit hit games in `11. Notre Dame hit 36 home runs in `12, which led the BIG EAST and was 18 more than in ’11, when only three teams in the league had fewer. The Irish were the only team in the BIG EAST with a pair of players with 10 or more home runs. The sophomore duo of Jagielo (13) and Mancini (12) combined for 25 round trippers. Jagielo ranked second in the league and Mancini was tied for third.
Jagielo and Mancini was the first Irish tandem with 10 or more home runs in the same season since Jeremy Barnes (15) and A.J. Pollock (10) in 2009. They were the first set of Notre Dame sophomores to collect double-digit home runs in the same season since Matt Bransfield (12) and Craig Cooper (10) in 2004. Junior catcher Joe Hudson turned in a fantastic year, hitting a team-high .332 with 14 doubles, six homers and 39 RBI. He also displayed patience at the plate by drawing 23 walks and receiving a team-high 14 bases due to being hit by a pitch. Hudson turned the stellar junior year into a high draft pick as he was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 draft by the Cincinnati Reds. Woods was instrumental in 2012’s recruiting class that included 13 players from 11 different states, including California, Indiana, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts. No class in Notre Dame history has come from such a widespread area. Woods managed through a difficult transition for Notre Dame in 2011, factoring in the new BBCOR standard for bat testing and five first-year everyday starters into the lineup. The Irish struggled offensively for much of the season, but Woods did aid in the development of the rookie tandem of Mancini and Jagielo whom hit third and fourth, respectively, over the entire year. Notre Dame has not had firstyear players in those two spots of the lineup in at least 23 years (dating back to the 1988 season when records allow game-by-game lineups). Mancini was the first Irish rookie and eighth player in program history to lead Notre Dame in all three triple-crown categories (batting average, home runs and RBI). He also was named 2011 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, third team all-BIG EAST and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. In addition to the triple crown categories, Mancini led the Irish in hits (61), doubles (15), triples (three), total bases (109), slugging percentage (.577) on-base percentage (.385), multiple hit games (17), multiple RBI games (nine) and runs scored (33).

Mancini earned a spot on the BIG EAST honor roll three times in 2011. No player was honored by the BIG EAST more in terms of Player of the Week/Honor Roll than Mancini. Jagielo was the first Notre Dame rookie to bat third in a season opener since at least 1988. He started all 53 games in 2011 at four different positions. Jagielo started at first base, third base, left field and center field. He hit third in the lineup the entire year. Jagielo led the Irish in walks (25) and also ranked second on the team in slugging percentage (.418), runs scored (32), hits (54), RBI (28), doubles (13), home runs (five), total bases (84), multiple hit games (15) and multiple RBI games. Woods was especially critical in the development of fifth-year senior OF Herman Petzold in `12. Petzold entered the season with exactly three base hits and no RBI in 10 at-bats over 11 career games -- all off the bench. Petzold also played exclusively as a middle infielder over his first four years at Notre Dame. In fact, when the new coaching staff took over the program in June, Petzold was not even listed on the roster, but he was offered an opportunity to tryout in the fall without any guarantees of a spot on the roster. Petzold earned a starting spot in right field and started all 53 games in `12. He ranked second in batting average (.282), on-base percentage (.363) and sacrifice bunts (10). He registered a hit in 35 of Notre Dame’s 53 games. Petzold also ranked third on the team with 12 multi-hit games, including a team-best equaling four games with at least three hits. Woods also aided in Jagielo’s development as an outfielder. A converted shortstop from high school, Jagielo opened the season at first base, then moved to third base before ultimately closing the season in the outfield.

In addition to his recruiting duties with the Eagles (2008-10), Woods worked with the Boston College outfielders and hitters. He developed three of the premier outfielders in New England and the Atlantic Coast Conference during his time in Chestnut Hill. Barry Butera was drafted in the 21st round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft in 2009. Robbie Anston established himself as one of the best leadoff hitters in the country in 2009 and earned all-ACC second team honors. Anston was drafted in the 26th round of the 2010 draft, while John Spatola was nabbed in the 35th round.

Also learning under Woods’ tutelage was catcher Tony Sanchez, who finished his career with 24 homers, 124 RBI, 202 hits and 125 runs. During his final campaign in 2009, Sanchez was one of three finalists for the Johnny Bench Award presented to the nation’s best catcher in addition to earning third team All-America honors. Sanchez was taken with the fourth pick in the 2009 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates and cracked the Major League roster in 2013. Woods came to Boston College after three seasons as an assistant coach at Wheaton College (Mass.). While at Wheaton, Woods assisted with recruiting, game management tasks, implementing practice schedules and off-field conditioning. Woods helped Wheaton win three New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championships and advanced to the NCAA Regional Tournament all three seasons. In 2006, Wheaton advanced to the Division III National Championship game. Prior to his coaching career, Woods played first base, catcher and outfield at Wheaton from 2001-04. He and his teammates captured three NEWMAC Championships and made three regional appearances. Woods was voted cocaptain by his teammates prior to the start of the 2004 season. Woods graduated with a degree in history from Wheaton in 2004. He and his wife, Danielle, live in Granger and are expecting their first child in February 2014.

CHUCK RISTANO Assistant Coach 10th Year Overall Fourth Year at Notre Dame Sacred Heart ’04
Fourth-year assistant coach Chuck Ristano has made quite a difference with the Irish pitching staff over the last three seasons in addition to recruiting duties. Just some of the improved numbers include: • Notre Dame has posted three consecutive seasons with fewer than 3.00 walks per nine innings for the first time in school history. • The Irish have posted three consecutive seasons with an ERA sub-4.00 for the first time since the 2002-04 campaigns. • Notre Dame has increased its saves total every year, going from 12 in 2011 to 14 in 2012 to 17 in 2013. • The Irish led the BIG EAST in fewest walks per nine innings in 2011 (2.67), 2012 (2.81) and 2013 (2.59). Only eight times since 1957 has an Irish team averaged below 3.00 walks per nine innings with 2011-13 marking three of those occasions. 2013 proved to be another standout year for the Irish pitchers under Ristano as junior Dan Slania was fifth in the country in ERA (1.21) and 20th in saves (13), while senior Adam Norton was third in Division I in shutouts (3), 18th in walks allowed per nine innings (1.16) and 27th in victories (10). In the BIG EAST, Norton led in complete games (4) and shutouts, while Slania was first in ERA. For their efforts, both earned first team allBIG EAST honors with Slania later becoming the highest drafted Notre Dame pitcher (fifth
round) since Jeff Samardzija went in the fifth round in 2006. In addition to Slania and Norton, sophomore RHP Pat Connaughton sported a 1.71 ERA in 10 starts. A year earlier, Ristano was instrumental in Will Hudgins’ breakout senior campaign and ultimate selection in the `12 MLB draft (22nd round selection of the Washington Nationals). Hudgins was named all-BIG EAST second team following his only season as a starter. He went 5-3 and led the league with a 2.06 ERA. Hudgins was the first Irish starter to complete a season with an ERA in the neighborhood of 2.00 since David Phelps, now a starting pitcher for the New York Yankees, posted a 1.88 ERA in 2007. Hudgins struck out 90 and walked 24 in 96.1 innings. Hudgins topped the BIG EAST in fewest earned runs allowed (22), ranked fourth in strikeouts (90), seventh in opposing batting average (.233) and ninth in innings pitched (96.1). He collected nine quality starts and allowed one earned run or less in 10 of his last 14 starts. In Ristano’s first season (2011), the Irish were carried by one of the top pitching staffs in the BIG EAST. Notre Dame finished `11 with a 3.42 ERA (down from 5.95 in 2010), which was the best by an Irish staff since 2004 (3.36). Notre
Dame actually took a 2.82 ERA into the final week of the regular season, which would have been the lowest by an Irish club since 1960 (2.60, school record) and ranked 15th in the NCAA at the time. Notre Dame’s starting pitchers registered a quality start (pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs) in 33 of 53 games for the Irish. The 33 quality starts is even more impressive when you consider Notre Dame totaled 11 in 2010. The Irish owned a 2.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio, which was light years better than the total of 1.73 from `10. Notre Dame led the BIG EAST in fewest walks by a large margin. The Irish walked only 143 batters in 481.2 innings, good for a 2.67 average per nine innings - slightly off the school record for fewest walks per nine innings (2.48 in 2001), but still ranked third all-time. The Irish pitching staff ranked first or second in the conference in sacrifice bunts allowed, walks allowed, hit batters allowed, runs allowed, earned runs allowed, wild pitches allowed and balks allowed. Notre Dame’s 2011 weekend rotation of Brian Dupra, Cole Johnson and Todd Miller totaled 29 quality starts as opposed to the weekend rotation of 2010, which accounted for just 11.

Dupra, Johnson and Miller struck out 221 batters and walked only 71 in their 287.0 innings of work. That equated to a 3.11 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 6.93 punch outs per nine innings and 2.23 walks per nine innings. They registered nine straight quality starts to open the season. The Irish had not gone that many consecutive games with a quality start in nearly 10 years. Notre Dame’s starting rotation of Dupra, Johnson, Miller, Anthony McIver and Adam Norton averaged 6.38 innings per start. In fact, Dupra, Johnson and Miller averaged 6.52 innings per start on weekends. Notre Dame’s starting pitchers averaged only 4.73 innings per start in 2010. They combined for 25 starts of at least 7.0 innings. The Irish managed only seven such starts the year prior to Ristano’s arrival. Dupra and Johnson each ranked among the top 10 in the BIG EAST in innings pitched with
Dupra (104.2) ranking fifth and Johnson (101.0) ninth. Notre Dame was the only school in the conference that had two pitchers ranked among the top 10 in innings pitched. Johnson (2.76) ranked eighth in the BIG EAST in ERA and Dupra (3.10) ranked 12th. Notre Dame’s bullpen did not disappoint as Will Hudgins, Sean Fitzgerald, Dan Slania, McIver and Norton finished with a 2.90 ERA. The bullpen amassed 12 saves and limited its opponents to a .253 batting average. The quintet struck out 94 and walked 42. The Irish relief corps was even better in BIG EAST action. Notre Dame’s bullpen posted a 2.08 ERA in 73.2 innings. They owned a 7-4 record and seven saves in league play. The bullpen struck out 43 and walked 20. Irish opponents batted just .230 against the bullpen in BIG EAST games. The pen surrendered two home runs and 12 total extra-base hits in 26 league games.

Ristano acted as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J. for four years (20062009). He not only directed all phases of recruitment, but also was responsible for the development of off-season throwing and conditioning programs. Ristano coordinated study hall and all travel plans, and even assisted in numerous fundraising activities. He placed players in a number of top-level summer collegiate leagues. Ristano helped guide the Hawks to the conference title and automatic NCAA bid in 2007 and 2009. Monmouth won 30 or more games in three of his four seasons on staff, including a school-record 37 victories in 2008. The Hawks appeared in the 2007 Tempe Regional and 2009 Oxford Regional. Ristano also recruited and tutored three pitchers selected in the Major League Baseball draft, including Ryan Buch and Brett Brach, who were selected in the eighth and 10th rounds, respectively, in the 2009 MLB Draft. In total, eight of his recruits eventually signed professional baseball contracts. Under Ristano’s guidance, seven pitchers earned all-conference honors, four earned allregion honors and four more were named TPX All-Americans, including Brach, who was the 2007 NEC Pitcher of the Year. In his first season at Monmouth (2006), Ristano’s pitching staff ranked eighth nationally in earned run average (3.34), setting a school record. In 2008, his staff posted a 3.99 ERA, as the Hawks joined 11 other teams to finish in the NCAA top 20 in ERA in two of the previous three seasons. In 2007, his staff set a school record with 374 strikeouts. During his four seasons at the school, Monmouth posted a 132-89 record and compiled a team ERA of 4.35. The Hawks led the NEC in ERA in 2006, finished second each of the other three years and led the conference in strikeouts twice. In 2005, Ristano served as pitching coach at his alma mater Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. He tutored both first team allconference pitchers, including the league’s pitcher of the year, and helped the Pioneers to their first ever NEC Tournament appearance. Ristano, who spent the 2010 season as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Temple University, was a four-year letter winner at Sacred Heart (2001-04). He was a two-time captain and four-time NEC All-Academic Team honoree. Ristano graduated with a B.S. degree in sports management in 2004. He resides in South Bend with his dog, Mo.

ADAM PAVKOVICH Volunteer Assistant Coach Second Year Overall First Year at Notre Dame Alabama ‘12
Former University of Alabama standout and veteran professional baseball player Adam Pavkovich joined the University of Notre Dame baseball program in September 2013 as the volunteer assistant coach. Pavkovich comes to the Irish after one year as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama Huntsville (2013) and two years at Alabama as a student assistant (2011-12). In his role with the Irish, Pavkovich will work with infielders and hitters as well as coordinate camps. “First I want to thank Mik (Aoki) for this great opportunity,” said Pavkovich. “My family and I are thrilled to become part of the University of Notre Dame family. The rich history and great tradition of academics and athletics are what makes this institution so special and I’m looking forward to joining this staff. I hope I can instill some of my collegiate and professional experience into our guys so they can learn and grow as student-athletes.” “Adam brings a wealth of playing experience and knowledge having played at a high level in college at Alabama in the SEC and by playing professional baseball, getting all the way up to Triple-A,” said fourth-year head coach Mik Aoki. “I think he’s a good communicator and will be able to share those experiences with the players. I thought it was important to bring someone on staff that has professional playing experience. We want our student-athletes developing and having opportunities at the end of their college careers to play professional baseball, so to have a guy that has done it and be able to communicate to our kids what it takes to get to the level is very valuable.” While at the University of Alabama Huntsville, Pavkovich was responsible for coaching third base, working with the infielders, assisting with hitting development and helping coordinate the recruiting efforts. In just one year, he helped develop seven all-conference players and one player of the year award winner.
In his return to Alabama after playing professionally, Pavkovich was responsible for coaching first base, working with infield and outfield defense and assisting with hitting mechanics, approaches and philosophy. The 2010 Crimson Tide team appeared in the Southeastern Conference Tournament and traveled to the Tallahassee NCAA Regional. In 2011 and 2012, Pavkovich helped centerfielder Taylor Dugas earn all-SEC honors and an ABCA Rawlings Gold Glove Award before being selected in the eighth round of the Major League Baseball draft. An 11th round draft pick, Pavkovich enjoyed an eight-year professional baseball career with the Los Angeles Angels organization.

Fighting Irish • The 2013 Notre Dame baseball team finished the regular season at 31-23 including 10-14 in the BIG EAST to clinch the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament. At the tournament, the Irish shutout Seton Hall (5-0) and gained revenge over Pittsburgh (5-3, 3-2), who had swept ND earlier in the year, to reach the conference tournament championship. The Irish lost 8-1 in the finals to UConn, but finished the year (34-24) with three more wins than the previous season. • During the course of the regular season, Notre Dame boasted several impressive victories as it knocked off three ranked foes including No. 25 Virginia Tech (3-0), No. 10 Oklahoma (6-5) and No. 20 Cal Poly (1-0 and 6-5). The wins helped catapult the Irish into the national rankings, eventually reaching as high as No. 15. • The Irish jumped out to a 10-3 record to start the season, taking two of three at the Snowbird Tournament, three of four at the Irish Baseball Classic and two of three at the Dodgertown Classic. All three losses were by one run including a 2-1 loss to eventual national champion UCLA. • Notre Dame played in seven extra-inning games, including four that went 11 innings or longer. The longest of the bunch was a 19-inning marathon May 3 against USF that equaled the longest game in school and BIG EAST history. The Irish carried a 2-0 lead into the ninth inning, but junior RHP Dan Slania gave up only his second and third earned runs of the year to send the game to extras. Slania made up for his mistake in extras, however, as he proceeded to hurl 7.1 consecutive scoreless innings (9.0 innings total) to keep the Irish in the game. Slania retired 21 of the last 23 USF batters he faced. The game went exactly five hours and featured 36 different players and 540 pitches. The Irish eventually lost 8-2 as two errors helped pave the way for six USF runs in the top of the 19th. • For their efforts throughout the season, the Irish were well represented in the BIG EAST postseason awards. Junior 3B Eric Jagielo led a representation of six Notre Dame student-athletes that received some sort of postseason honor.
season. He led the team in ERA (1.21) and saves (13). The 13 saves was tied for the second most in school history. - Sophomore OF Ryan Bull had a breakout campaign to earn third team all-BIG EAST honors. Bull started 57 games and hit .319 with nine doubles, five triples, 27 walks, 38 RBI and 24 runs scored. - Senior 2B Frank DeSico joined Jagielo on the BIG EAST all-tournament team after hitting .438 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in four tournament games. During the year, DeSico had 13 doubles, a team-high 19 stolen bases and 47 runs scored. • Notre Dame found comfort at Frank Eck Stadium as it went 12-5 (.706) on the year including winning 11 of the first 13 to record the most home wins since 2009 (16) and the highest winning percentage since 2006 (.840). • The Irish played in a remarkable 19 games decided by one run, posting a 12-7 record in those games. The 12 one-run victories set a school record for most in one season. • Notre Dame shutout four opponents in 2013 - No. 25 Virginia Tech (3-0), No. 20 Cal Poly (1-0), Quinnipiac (6-0) and Seton Hall (5-0). Norton started all four shutouts, hurling complete games in three of the contests and going eight innings in the other (Cal Poly). Norton finished third in Division I with three complete-game shutouts. • 2013 captains were seniors Charlie Markson and DeSico. • Following the season, Jagielo (26th overall Yankees), Slania (5th round - Giants), Mancini (8th round - Orioles) and Markson (38th round - Brewers) were all selected in the MLB Draft. For only the second time in school history (2004 - four players), the Irish had three or more players selected in the draft’s top 10 rounds.
- Jagielo was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year in addition to earning first team all-BIG EAST and all-tournament team honors after hitting .388 with 19 doubles, nine home runs, 53 RBI, 35 walks, 15 hit by pitches and 47 runs scored. - Joining Jagielo on the first team was junior 1B Trey Mancini and senior RHP Adam Norton. Mancini led the team in average (.389) and had 14 doubles, seven homers, 54 RBI, 21 walks and 29 runs scored. Norton, meanwhile, proved to be the team’s workhorse on the mound, tallying team highs in innings pitched (116.1), wins (10) and strikeouts (70) while finishing with a steady 2.40 ERA. He was also one of the top players in the country in walks allowed per nine innings (1.16), finishing 18th. - Earning second team honors was Slania, who gave up only eight earned runs in 59.1 innings of work including only one in his first 19 appearances on the

History & Records
Baseball has thrived at Notre Dame since its first varsity season in 1892. The program’s many noteworthy letterwinners have included John Shea – seated at the bottom left of this 1908 photo – who co-wrote the famed Notre Dame victory march.
BASEBALL HISTORY

NOTRE DAME BASEBALL: ALIVE AND WELL IN THIRD CENTURY The program has produced its share of innovators and memories.
The Notre Dame baseball program punctuated its growing emergence as modern-day contender by advancing to the 2002 College World Series, part of a 16-year run of seasons with 40-plus victories (the third-longest streak in all of Division I baseball, as of 2004). But the program’s legacy runs much deeper, stretching back through 121 seasons and even as far back as the 1860s, when baseball began to emerge as a popular diversion at the Northern Indiana school. Notre Dame can trace its founding to the mid-19th century, when Father Edward Sorin, C.S.C., and a small band of French missionaries set up camp a little north of South Bend, Indiana. The 1842 construction included building a log church and a small building and the founders immodestly labeled their creation the University of Notre Dame du Lac (Our Lady of the Lake). In the early years, this all-male university enrolled students from first grade through college and there was a heavy emphasis placed on recreational activities. For the next 24 years after its founding, the main athletic diversions of Notre Dame students were ice skating, swimming and cycling. Students also could be found playing team sports of European origin: cricket and soccer. That all changed in 1866, when two young men from Marshalltown, Iowa –
First baseman Angus McDonald (left) and second baseman Frank McNicholas (right) were two of Notre Dame’s first varsity baseball letterwinners in the late 1800s.

Adrian “Cap” Anson – who helped popularize baseball at Notre Dame – was considered one of the most dynamic players in professional baseball during the late 1800s.
Sturgis and Adrian Anson – introduced a new sport to Notre Dame. The sport was base ball (it didn’t become one word until much later) and it quickly became the biggest thing to hit the campus. On any spring day, most of the Notre Dame student body could be found playing baseball on the many ball diamonds on the campus. During this period, Notre Dame had approximately 500 students in all combined programs. In his autobiography, A Ballplayer’s Career, Adrian “Cap” Anson spoke fondly of his days at Notre Dame. After leaving
Notre Dame, in 1871, Anson became one of the original major league baseball players in the National Association, the first major league. Anson went on to become the most dominant figure of 19th-century baseball, as the playing manager of the National League Chicago White Stockings (now the Cubs). Anson retired after a 27-year career with a .329 batting average and he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939, as a member of the fourth class. For the first 20 years of baseball at Notre Dame, all games were played on campus between club teams. The school began playing off-campus foes in the spring of 1888. Notre Dame decided to sponsor varsity baseball in 1892. Five years earlier, the University had launched a varsity football program when Michigan’s squad came to South Bend to teach a group of students the fundamentals. The next day, they played a football game and Michigan won handily. Notre Dame also decided to inaugurate its varsity baseball program with a game against the Wolverines. The Michigan baseball team journeyed to South Bend and Notre Dame came away with a 6-4 victory in its first-ever baseball game. From the early 1890s until the Notre Dame football team defeated Army in 1913, baseball was the biggest sport on the South Bend campus and Notre Dame

Noteworthy Baseball Accomplishments By Former Notre Dame Students Former Notre Dame students have made a lasting impact on the game of baseball, with the more unique contributions including: Fans flocked to Cartier Field in the 1950s, with the unique venue situated between the old Notre Dame Fieldhouse (upper left) and Notre Dame Stadium (beyond the outfield fence). One of Notre Dame’s most recognizable present-day structures – Hesburgh Memorial Library (constructed in ’63) – would be hovering over the third-base dugout in this 1950s photo.
was one of the best baseball teams in the country, despite there being fewer than 200 college students in the University’s active population at that time. With such an illustrious beginning and a cast of characters who would go on to make their mark throughout the world of sports, Notre Dame baseball progressed into the 20th century as one of the university’s most consistently enjoyable means of recreation. Notre Dame baseball experienced great success during the 1906-08 seasons, posting a three-year record of 60-9 – with the 1908 season (20-1) remaining the best winning percentage in the program’s history (.952). The middle portion of the 1900s included one consistent link to Notre Dame baseball, as Clarence “Jake” Kline was associated with the program for 49 seasons in a 62-year stretch (1913-75), including an amazing run as Irish head coach that spanned five decades (‘34-’75).
Jake Kline made the journey from Williamsport, Pa., to Notre Dame in the fall of 1913 and remained part of the baseball program for 49 of the next 62 years.
Kline’s 1949 squad closed the first half of the century with one of the program’s best seasons, qualifying for the program’s first NCAA appearance. Notre Dame returned to the NCAAs in ’56 and again in ’57 – when three wins in the district playoffs at Western Michigan sent the Irish on to Omaha for the College World Series. Notre Dame was a common face in the NCAA Tournament for 13 seasons, advancing to the postseason tournament five times in that stretch. The program then experienced its first major venue shift in 1977, relocating from old Cartier Field (just north of Notre Dame Stadium) to the east side of campus, in the area that later would be dubbed Jake Kline Field (north of the current Joyce Center). Tom Kelly and Larry Gallo shepherded the baseball program through the first 12 seasons following Kline’s retirement (1976-87). Notre Dame opened the decade of the 1980s by posting a 29-8 record in the 1980 season, highlighted by a 12-game winning streak late in the year.

Despite the program’s many successes in its first 96 seasons, Notre Dame baseball entered a new level of excellence in the late 1980s. An ambitious young coach named Pat Murphy was hired to direct a program that had not tasted NCAA tournament action in nearly 20 years – and the Irish program responded with a string of 40-win seasons that spanned 16 years. Murphy’s first squad (39-22) posted 24 more wins than the previous team, with that breakthrough 1988 season representing the program’s best win percentage since 1982. Led by an assortment of talented players – including All-American/Academic All-American Dan Peltier – the Irish fashioned a memorable 1989 season. The highlight of 1989 came in the rainsoaked Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament, when Notre Dame rallied for four wins in one hectic, soggy day to claim the tourney title and earn the league’s automatic NCAA bid. The success of the Murphy era continued through the 1994 season, with the Irish coming excruciatingly close to advancing to the College World Series in both 1992 (at Miami) and ’93 (at Florida State).
Home Is Where the Heart Is
Notre Dame baseball has called four primary facilities “home” for significant stretches in its 121-year history. The majority of the games in the first 85 years were held at Cartier Field (bottom left), an area that currently consists of the quad stretching between Notre Dame Stadium and the Hesburgh Library.

The level of success set by Cap Anson and his contemporaries carried on during the next 12 seasons, under the direction of head coach Paul Mainieri. The Irish program posted the seventh-best winning percentage in Division I baseball during the 1990s and went on to compile a string of 16 straight seasons with 40-plus wins. All but the first season of the Mainieri era saw Notre Dame participate in the BIG EAST Conference. The Irish failed to reach the BIG EAST Tournament only once in their 18 seasons of league membership. Notre Dame became the first team to win three straight (from ’02-’04, plus ’05-’06)

The Irish fittingly closed the 1900s in style, as Notre Dame played host to NCAA tournament action for the first time in 40 years. The 1999 NCAA South Bend Regional was well-received by the community, which cheered the Irish on to an 8-1 NCAA opening win over Creighton en route to a 43-18 final record. Notre Dame then returned to the NCAAs with an inspiring showing at Mississippi State in 2000, followed by a
record-setting 2001 season that saw the Irish claim the first No. 1 ranking in the program’s history and set the team record for wins (49-13-1). Amazingly, the program kept climbing in 2002, as the Irish overcame a slew of injuries and rode the combination of a senior-dominated lineup and a youthful pitching staff all the way to the College World Series and a 50-18 final record – followed by a fifth straight NCAA trip in 2003, another record-setting season in 2004 (school-record 51 wins, only 12 losses),
Notre Dame's 1998 pitching staff was led by (from left) Alex Shilliday (9-5 record, 3.54 ERA, 93 Ks), Brad Lidge (8-2, 4.15, 93), Aaron Heilman (7-3, 1.61, 78), Chris McKeown (4-2, 4.47, 37) and Tim Kalita (4-0, 2.78, 71) – with Lidge and Heilman going on to pitch in the Major Leagues while Kalita reached the triple-A level.
and more NCAA trips in 2005 and ’06 to give the Irish seven straight seasons in the NCAA tournament. After 91 seasons as an independent, Notre Dame joined its first conference (Midwest City Conference) in 1983. After three years in the Midwest City Conference (1983-85), nine in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (1986-95) and 18 in the BIG EAST Conference (1996-2013), a new era begins in 2014, as the Irish play their first season in the historic Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

Highlights include CWS trips in 1957 and 2002 While the first 60 years of varsity Notre Dame baseball were brimming with future major-leaguers and innovators, the 60-plus seasons since then have seen Irish baseball emerge as a respected and regular participant in the NCAA Championship. The Irish advanced to the NCAAs 14 times during the 1900s (and again from 2000-06), with a 41-44 overall NCAA record, trips to the 1957 and 2002 College World Series – and near-misses on trips to Omaha in 1992 and ’93. Notre Dame made its NCAA debut in 1949, winning the district playoffs with a 1-0 victory at Purdue and a 9-1 home win over Western Michigan. The Irish – who were led in ’49 by first baseman Dick Gieldin’s .350 batting average – played host to Wake Forest in an NCAA Region B series, but the Demon Deacons advanced with 4-1 and 10-7 wins and went on to finish as runner-up to Texas in the College World Series. The Irish returned to the NCAAs in ’56, at Minnesota for a District Four series. Notre Dame opened with a 4-3 win but the Gophers won the next two (15-5, 10-1) and went on to claim the CWS title, with a 15-1 win over Arizona. After being eliminated by the CWS runner-up and champion in its first two NCAA appearances, Notre Dame returned in ’57 to post one of the finest seasons in the program’s history. With most of its players back from ’56 – including All-American catcher Elmer Kohorst, clutch-hitting leftfielder Bob Senecal, strikeout specialist Tom Bujnowski and fellow righthander Chuck Symeon – the Irish posted an 11-7 regular-season record before winning the NCAA District Four tournament at Western Michigan. Notre Dame began its march to Omaha with wins over Alma (18-2) and the host Broncos (4-2) but lost to Northwestern (9-2). The Irish and Wildcats faced off again the next day and a 6-1 Notre Dame win sent the Irish on to the College World Series, where they

Jim Morris established a College World Series record for batting average (10-for-14, in ’57). won games over Colorado State (23-2, still tied for most runs in a CWS game) and Texas (9-0, led by Symeon’s five-hit gem) while losing to Iowa State (13-8) and eventual runnerup Penn State (5-4). Infielder Jim Morris hit 10-for-14 to establish a still-standing CWS batting average record (.714). The Irish advanced to the NCAAs the next three seasons, with an 11-7 win over Minnesota, a split with Valparaiso and a 5-4 loss to host Western Michigan in ’58. WMU beat the Irish twice in the ’59 NCAAs – in South Bend (wins over Detroit and Minnesota) – while Minnesota and Ohio University ended Notre Dame’s season in 1960, with the Gophers claiming another NCAA crown. Top Irish hitters in the late 1950s included Jim Morris, second baseman Dick Selcer and outfielder Gene Duffy, with the talented mound corps led by Symeon, strikeout specialist and lefty Frank Carpin, Nick Palihnich and Jack Mitchell (who still own some of the top season ERAs in Irish history). The 1963 season brought an NCAA trip to Illinois, with losses to Western Michigan (2-1) and the host Illini (4-0), sandwiching around a win over Valparaiso (5-2). Notre Dame then

As if the emotion of making its first NCAA appearance in 20 seasons was not enough, getting there was half the thrill – as Notre Dame won four rain-soaked games over a span of 23 hours to win the 1989 Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament and an automatic NCAA bid. The Irish headed to Fresno State and opened with a tough 9-8 loss to the host Bulldogs before beating Portland (8-6 in 13 innings) and losing again to Fresno (11-4). All-American centerfielder Dan Peltier was the offensive leader in ’89 and Brian Piotrowicz paced the pitching staff. While the victory totals and hopes for a return to the NCAAs kept mounting, the Irish did not get there until 1992 and once again, memories were made. After Notre Dame opened with a poor performance in a 5-1 loss to South Carolina at the 1992 Atlantic Regional, many foresaw a quick exit for the Irish as they took on the host Miami Hurricanes. Notre Dame spotted Miami a 3-0 lead but used a four-run fifth to claim the 6-3 upset. Dan Bautch’s three hits led the offense while Alan Walania worked out of countless jams to get the win, with David Sinnes inducing a bases-loaded groundout to end the game. The Irish beat Delaware (12-6) and South Carolina (11-2) to set up a winner-take-all final with the Hurricanes but ran out of gas, falling 5-1 in the final. The 1993 NCAAs brought Notre Dame to Tallahassee, Fla., and the Irish opened with a 15-1 thumping of Mississippi State before nearly upsetting host Florida State. With the game tied 3-3 and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Irish shortstop Paul Failla tried to score from second on a single to left field but was called out on a controversial play at the plate. Then, in the 10th, Florida State’s Ty Mueller hit a grand slam versus lefthanded reliever Chris Michalak, for a 7-3 Florida
State win. Despite the setback, the Irish downed Central Florida the next afternoon (12-3) before avenging the loss to Florida State with a 4-3 elimination-game win. Michalak – who also hit 8-for-18 in the regional as a late addition for defensive purposes at first base – turned in a gutsy complete-game effort, scattering nine hits and one walk while striking out six in his 34th career win. Failla also gained some redemption with a timely, leaping stab on a linedrive in the eighth inning. With the ‘93 win over FSU ending at 1:00 a.m., the Irish failed to fully recharge for the final game vs. Long Beach State (13-3). Third baseman Matt Haas earned what would be his first of two All-Regional selections, after an impressive tournament that included 11 hits in 20 at-bats and 10 RBI, plus a home run, triple and double. The run of NCAA upsets on the opponent’s field continued in 1994 at Clemson, as the Irish bounced back from a 9-5 loss to Old Dominion by stunning the Tigers (8-1). Tim Krause’s five-hitter paved the way while Haas had three hits and three RBI vs. the hosts. The Irish then beat the Citadel (5-1)

but came out flat on the final day, losing 8-0 to Auburn. Other Notre Dame forays into the NCAAs came in 1996 at the University of Alabama – highlighted by a 12-1 win over No. 2 seed Virginia – and in 1999, when the Irish played host to a four-team regional at Eck Stadium. Aaron Heilman’s complete-game outing carried the Irish to an 8-1 win over Creighton while freshman catcher Paul O’Toole became the first Irish player ever to hit a home run in four straight postseason games (all three NCAA games). Then, in 2000, Notre Dame pushed host Mississippi State to the limit at the Starkville Regional – losing 10-9 on a ninth-inning home run in the title game and signaling good things to come for the Irish in the 21st century. Another near-miss followed at the 2001 NCAA South Bend Regional, with Notre Dame and Florida International playing three hotlycontested games before the Panthers survived 5-4 in the title game. Notre Dame broke through in 2002, winning the South Bend Regional with a pair of victories over Ohio State and a 25-1 dismantling of top-seeded South Alabama (sparked by Grant Johnson’s 1-hitter and Steve Sollmann’s 6-for-7, 7 RBI day). The Irish then sent rumbles throughout the college baseball world by upsetting the nation’s No. 1-ranked team, Florida State, in the Super Regional round (10-4, 5-12, 3-1). Johnson and fellow freshman Chris Niesel (a Florida native) picked up the wins while Kris Billmaier maintained his hot hitting (16-for-26 combined in the Regional and Super Regional, with eight RBI and 21 total bases). Those wins sent the Irish back to Omaha and the College World Series for the first time in 45 years – with a pair of narrow losses to Stanford (3-4, 3-5) sandwiched around a thrilling 9th-inning comeback to beat Rice (5-3). Steve Stanley’s one-out triple sparked the rally, followed by Steve

Sollmann’s single up the middle and Brian Stavisky’s game-ending home run over the rightfield fence. Notre Dame then reached the regional title games in 2003 (vs. host Cal State Fullerton), 2004 (at Eck Stadium, vs. Arizona) and 2005 (vs. host Florida), with Sollmann adding two more all-regional performances to his impressive career resume.
Danny Tamayo earned all-region honors at the 2000 Starkville Regional along with four of his Irish teammates after Notre Dame advanced to the regional title game.
Notre Dame’s impressive showing at the 2000 NCAA Starkville Regional vaulted the Irish into the landmark 2001 and ’02 seasons. The 2000 Regional performance included (pictured) an elimination-game rally to beat Tulane (after riding out a tornado delay, with the game ending at 12:53 a.m.); the spirited leadership of centerfielder Steve Stanley, one of several ND players who became favorites of the famous “Leftfield Lounge” fan section; and Danny Tamayo pitching a three-hit shutout versus host Mississippi State (forcing a winner-take-all game, with the Bulldogs winning 10-9 on a ninth-inning home run).

The Notre Dame baseball program has seen 21 of its players named to official AllAmerica teams a total of 56 times – including 14 players who have combined for 43 All-America seasons since 1995. The 2004 season saw third baseman Matt Macri and closer Ryan Doherty each receive All-America honors, as Notre Dame was one of only four schools in the nation with a full-time position player and pitcher on the 2004 All-America team named by the College Baseball Writers. Macri was one of only seven position players named a firstor second-team All-American by Baseball America, USA Today and Collegiate Baseball magazine in 2004. Pitching ace Aaron Heilman (a rare four-time All-American) and centerfielder Steve Stanley were consensus first-team All-Americans in consecutive seasons (Heilman ’01, Stanley ’02) and each was a finalist for various national player-of-theyear awards as seniors. The 21 Notre Dame baseball players who have earned All-America honors break down as follows: u By position: catchers Elmer Kohorst and Walt Osgood, first basemen Craig Cooper and Trey Mancini, second basemen Dick Selcer and Steve Sollmann, shortstop Rich Gonski, third basemen Brant Ust, Macri and Eric Jagielo, five outfielders (Dan Peltier, Eric Danapilis, Ryan Topham, A.J. Pollock and Stanley), four starting pitchers (Nick Palihnich, Heilman, Chris Niesel and Jeff Manship) and relievers J.P. Gagne and Doherty. u The 21 have combined for 26 All-America seasons (four by Heilman, two each by Kohorst and Stanley). u By class year: nine seniors (Kohorst, Selcer, Osgood, Gonski, Danapilis, Heilman, Stanley, Gagne and Cooper), 12 juniors (Jagielo, Kohorst, Mancini, Palihnich, Peltier, Topham, Heilman, Stanley, Sollmann, Macri, Manship and Pollock), four sophomores (Ust, Heilman, Niesel, Doherty) and one freshman (Heilman). u By association/publication: 18 from the ABCA (since ’54), 13 from NCBWA (since ’81), 11 from Collegiate Baseball (since ’91), nine from Baseball America (since ’81), five from USA Today (2000-05) and one from All Ping!

BEST OF THE BEST?
All-America centerfielders Dan Peltier (’89), Eric Danapilis (’93) and Steve Stanley (’02) have combined for three of the best all-around offensive seasons in Notre Dame history, with All-America first baseman Craig Cooper (a converted outfielder) fashioning his own impressive all-around season in 2006. Peltier (pictured at left) ultimately rose above all the rest as owner of the program’s most dominant offensive season (1989), with the potent 3-hole hitter recording a .783 slugging pct., a 1.296 OPS (on-base pct. plus slugging), 93 RBI and 32 doubles (led nation in ’89), in addition to a then-school record .446 season batting average, 15 home runs, five triples and only 17 strikeouts (he reached base in 64 of 68 games). Danapilis (pictured below) did his damage as the 1993 cleanup batter, compiling a 1.248 OPS. During that season, Danapilis (.726), his classmate Edwin Hartwell and Peltier all posted a slugging percentage above .700 and on-base pct. above .500. His other 1993 stats included a .438 season batting avg., a .522 on-base pct., 96 hits, 85 RBI, 24 doubles, 13 home runs and 13 stolen bases. Stanley’s stellar leadoff season in 2002 included a .506 on-base pct., 76 runs and 32 stolen bases. The 5-9 speedster’s 119 hits eclipsed Peltier’s record (115) while batting .439. Danapilis also racked up a huge number of total bases in 1993 (159, with Stanley totaling 147 in ’02). Cooper’s impressive season as the 2006 leadoff batter included a 1.176 OPS, .425 batting average and reaching base in 55 of 57 games, plus a 21-game hit streak (tying then ND record), a .522 on-base pct., a nationleading and ND-record 79 runs scored, nine home runs, 19 doubles, 38 walks, 10 HBPs, nine stolen bases and only 10 Ks.

HONORS & AWARDS
Fighting Irish
Byron V. Kanaley Award The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award, has been presented each year since 1927 to senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a Weedsport, N.Y., native and 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960. Fourteen members of the Notre Dame baseball team have received the award, including four since 2000. The first three baseball recipients of the award came in the 1940s: Rex Ellis (Greens Fork, Ind.; ‘40), Ralph Pinelli (San Francisco, Calif.; ’41) and John Hickey (South Bend, Ind.; ’43). The most noteworthy baseball honoree was Don Sniegowski (Toledo, Ohio), an infielder who finished fifth on the 1956 Irish team with a .280 batting average. Sniegowski earned an even more prestigious honor when he was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship. As of 1996, he was one of 32 former varsity college baseball players known to have earned a Rhodes Scholarship. Since 1956, he has been joined by just one other Rhodes Scholar who was known to have played Division I baseball – Oregon State’s Knute Buehler (’84). Righthander Ron Schmitz (Cleveland, Ohio) received the Kanaley Award in 1971 after leading the Irish with 43 strikeouts and posting a 2.59 ERA. Five years later, another righthander, Bob Stratta (Olympia Fields, Ill.), received the Kanaley. Stratta posted a 3.69 ERA as a senior after leading the Irish in wins, ERA and strikeouts as both a sophomore and a junior (he remains the only Irish hurler to lead all three categories twice). Rick Chryst (Platteville, Wis.) – former commissioner of the Mid-American Conference – was the next Irish baseball player to receive the Kanaley, doing so in 1983. The infielder/outfielder was second on the ’83 squad with a .304 batting average. Third baseman Jim Dee (Chicago, Ill.) was the program’s eighth Kanaley winner in ’84, after ranking third on the team with a .340 batting average, and outfielder John Loughran (Stamford, Conn.) followed suit three years later after appearing in all 44 games for the 1987 squad. Righthander Erik Madsen (Great Falls, Mont.) received the Kanaley in ’89, after leading the Irish in wins (eight), ERA (3.74) and strikeouts (56) while second baseman Jeff Perconte (Arlington Heights, Ill.) – who went on to earn first team Academic All-America honors – was presented with the Kanaley Award in 2000, followed in 2001 by Mike Naumann (also a first team Academic All-American) and by his fellow lefthanded pitcher Tom Thornton in 2006. Cole Johnson was the most recent Irish player to capture the award in 2011.

Adam Norton (Sr., RHP) Francis Patrick O’Connor Award Chris Zorich Award Three Notre Dame baseball players – OF Edwin Hartwell (’93), C Matt Nussbaum (’01) and 2B Steve Sollmann (’03) – have received Notre Dame’s Francis Patrick O’Connor Award, presented to one male and one female student-athlete who embody team spirit, inspiration, caring, courage, honesty and patience. The award is named after Pat O’Connor (son of “Bucky” O’Connor, a 1940s guard on the Notre Dame football team), who died in 1973 following his freshman year at Notre Dame. LHP Tom Thornton (’06) and SS Tommy Chase (‘12) have each captured the athletic department’s Chris Zorich Award – named in honor of the former Irish football player and recognizing community service excellence. Led by Thornton’s example, the 2006 baseball team also was the first recipient of the athletic department’s team award for community service. Chase captured the Ray Siegfried Award for Leadership Excellence. He was also named a finalist for the Fan’s Choice Award presented by TD Ameritrade and Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup.

Giants; George Cutshaw (1908) was voted outstanding defensive second baseman of the deadball era; speedy Bert Daniels (1908-09) was known for his high hit-by-pitch ratios with the N.Y. Yankees; Fred “Cy” Williams (1910-12) became a four-time NL batting champ.

NOTRE DAME BASEBALL DRAFT NOTES u Notre Dame had an unprecedented five players selected in the first 14 rounds of the 2004 Major League draft. Only four other teams in the nation – two recent NCAA runner-ups (South Carolina and Stanford) and the 2002 and ’03 NCAA champs (Texas and Rice) – had more players picked in the first 14 rounds of the 2004 draft. The Notre Dame record for most players drafted from one team belongs to the 2001, 2008 and 2010 squads (six), followed by the 1996, 2004 and 2006 teams each with five drafted players. u The 2004 draft marked the seventh straight season that at least three Notre Dame players were selected (also in ’06, ‘08-’13). The 15-year span from 1995-2009 saw 73 players drafted (60) or signed as free agents – including 23 who were selected in the first 10 rounds (led by 10 in rounds 1-5). u Over the last 17 years, 18 of 21 Notre Dame signees who were drafted out of high school went on to be higherround draft picks as members of the Irish baseball program, which also has produced 42 players during the past 17 seasons who were drafted out of Notre Dame despite going undrafted as high school seniors. u Third baseman Eric Jagielo (1st - 26th pick, Yankees) and RHP Dan Slania (5th round, Giants) are the highest-
drafted teammates in Notre Dame history (in 2013). Jagielo became the seventh Notre Dame player since 1998 (and eighth all-time) to be selected in the first two rounds of the MLB draft. u The 2006 team became the first in Notre Dame history to feature three pitchers who were drafted: Jeff Samardzija (5th round, Cubs), Jeff Manship (14th round, Twins) and Tom Thornton (21st round, Tigers). The 2006 squad tied another Irish draft record, as three seniors were selected (Cooper, Thornton and shortstop Greg Lopez, in the 33rd round to the Blue Jays). u The 2008 team became the first in Irish history to feature five pitchers who were drafted: Kyle Weiland (3rd round, Red Sox), David Phelps (Yankees, 14th round), Wade Korpi (Marlins, 20th round), Sam Elam (Rockies, 23rd round) and Brett Graffy (White Sox, 24th round). u Prior to 2004, no previous Notre Dame squad had produced more than two selections in the first 10 rounds – with the 2004 team producing picks in the 2nd, 5th, 9th and 10th rounds. Previous pairs of Notre Dame players who were drafted in the first 10 rounds include: Christian Parker and Scott Sollmann in 1996; Lidge and Allen Greene in 1998; Brant Ust and Tim Kalita in 1999; Heilman and Danny Tamayo in 2001; and Stanley and Stavisky in 2002 (also
Samardzija and Cooper in 2006; Pollock and Elam in 2009). In 2013, Jagielo (1st round), Slania (5th round) and Trey Mancini (8th round) were all picked in the top 10 rounds of the same draft, marking only the second time in school history the Irish had three or more players accomplish that feat. u Jagielo (1st round) and Mancini (8th round) became the highest-drafted pair of infielders in Notre Dame baseball history. u Since 1995, there have been 16 Notre Dame seniors selected in the MLB draft (12 in the first 17 rounds). Aaron Heilman (‘01 - 1st round) is the highest drafted senior, with Steve Stanley (‘02 - 2nd round) close behind. Heilman and teammate Danny Tamayo (10th round) are the highest senior teammates to be drafted. u Pollock (1st round, 2009) equalled the highest draft selection in Notre Dame history. He was picked 17th overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ken Plesha (1965, Chicago White Sox) and Brad Lidge (1998, Houston Astros) were also chosen 17th overall. u Cavan Biggio (‘13 - 29th round) became the highest drafted high schooler in program history since Derik Olvey (13th round) in 2003. Both enrolled at Notre Dame.

Notre Dame World Series Winners Six former Notre Dame baseball players have helped their team claim the World Series title (pictured, left-to-right, top-to-bottom): RHP Ed Reulbach (1907 and ’08 Chicago Cubs), OF Jean Dubuc (’16 Boston Red Sox), 1B John McHale (’45 Detroit Tigers), RHP Ron Reed (’80 Philadelphia Phillies), 2B Craig Counsell (’97 Florida Marlins, ’01 Arizona Diamondbacks) and RHP Brad Lidge (’08 Philadelphia Phillies).
Counsell Helps Marlins Win Title Former Notre Dame baseball team captain and MVP Craig Counsell became a part of World Series history on the night of Sunday, Oct. 26, 1997, as a member of the Florida Marlins. After forcing extra innings with a ninth-inning sacrifice fly that scored Moises Alou, Counsell scored the game-winning run on an Edgar Renteria single up the middle to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 3-2. An 11th-round draft selection of the Colorado Rockies in 1992, Counsell spent six successful seasons in the minor leagues before being called up to the Rockies in late July of 1997. Days later, he was traded to Florida and helped the Marlins in their lateseason run, batting .299 in 51 regular season games and .293 in 15 postseason games. He was honored by his alma mater at halftime of the Notre Dame/West Virginia football game on Nov. 22, 1997. Counsell also joined his former Marlins manager Jim Leyland as the keynote speakers at Notre Dame’s 2007 annual baseball Opening Night Dinner.

Former Notre Dame baseball player Craig Counsell (1989-92) helped the Florida Marlins claim the 1997 World Series title (below). He became the 13th former Notre Dame player to play in the World Series (18 now have done so), duplicating the feat as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks 2001 World Series championship team (he also was named MVP of the 2001 National League Championship Series versus the Atlanta Braves). Updated as of Feb. 2014, Counsell is one of 44 former Notre Dame student-athletes who have played on the winning team in the World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Championship or Stanley Cup (those 43 have combined for 63 titles). He is one of 17 Notre Dame alums to play on multiple major pro championship teams, joining the likes of Justin Tuck, Nick Buoniconti, Rocky Bleier, Joe Montana, Dave Duerson, Mark Bavaro, Bill Laimbeer, John Paxson and Bill Nyrop in that distinction.

Counsell Repeats As World Series Champion With 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks Craig Counsell’s World Series magic continued in 2001, as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Counsell went from being a reserve to serving as one of the driving forces in the team’s postseason run. He batted .275 during the 2001 regular season (4 HR, 38 RBI) before earning MVP honors at the National League Championship Series, thanks to his 8-for-21 batting, four RBI and five runs scored versus the Atlanta Braves (he is pictured below with the trophy, seated next to then-Diamondbacks general manager and fellow Notre Dame graduate Joe Garagiola, Jr.). His career-best season included 141 games played at second base, third base and shortstop, and he closed the 2001 regular season by hitting safely in 25 of his final 27 starts. In addition to his NLCS heroics, Counsell opened the World Series by hitting an early solo home run versus the New York Yankees’ Mike Mussina, forging a 1-1 tie and launching Arizona to a 9-1 Game 1 victory.

Brad Lidge Saves the 2008 World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies Brad Lidge, the man who threw the winning pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2008 World Series, retired in 2012. He was a two-time All-Star who closed for the Phillies, Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals during his 11-year major league career. Lidge served as the closer for six playoff teams, three pennant winners and one world champion. For his career, he finished with a 3.54 ERA and 225 saves, and a strikeout rate of 11.919, a whisker behind Billy Wagner’s 11.982 for the lead among MLB pitchers with at least 600 innings (he had 603). Lidge, who saved 18 more games in the postseason, is best known for helping lead the Phillies to their 2008 World Series title in his first year with the club. He recorded 48 saves in 48 opportunities that season and the final out the series-deciding Game 5.

Note: The Notre Dame baseball team did not have a coach for several seasons in the early days of the program (1892-96, 1900-02 and 1904-05). Coaches served in a preseason capacity only until 1908, when Harry Curtis became the program’s first bench coach.
The early teams of Notre Dame baseball were known as a spirited and colorful bunch who quickly brought acclaim to the program, posting a combined 23073-1 record during the first 20 varsity seasons. Pictured at left is the official 1889 team that competed prior to the founding of a varsity program in 1892.

Christian Parker’s strong 1996 season (8-3, 4.24 ERA, 56 Ks) led to him being selected by the Montreal Expos in the fourth round of the 1996 draft. He later was traded to the New York Yankees organization and drew an opening-week start with the Yankees in 2001. Did You Know? Notre Dame ended the 1994 season with an 8-0 shutout loss to Auburn in the NCAAs but the Irish then scored in their next 133 games (1995-97) to set the team record for scoring streak. That mark was broken with a 231game scoring streak from 1999-2002 while the 2002-06 teams combined to score in 215 straight.
Notre Dame’s record-setting 1997 lineup, led by assistant coach Cory Mee (from left), included the following players (listed in typical batting order): senior CF Randall Brooks (.366, 3 HR), freshman RF Jeff Perconte (.283, 3 HR), senior C/DH Mike Amrhein (.394, 14 HR), sophomore DH/C Jeff Wagner (.374, 17 HR), freshman SS Brant Ust (.372, 11 HR), sophomore LF Allen Greene (.365, 7 HR), freshman 1B Jeff Felker (.319, 4 HR), junior 2B Todd Frye (.308, 0 HR) and senior 3B J.J. Brock (.365, 3 HR).

Mike Amrhein was a 99th-round pick of the New York Yankees after a disappointing junior season (’96) but he returned for a memorable 1997 (.394, 14 HR, 71 RBI) and was selected in the 10th round by the Chicago Cubs. Did You Know? Notre Dame played 38 consecutive doubleheaders from 1997-2001 without being swept by the opponent, with the Irish posting a 68-19 conference record (.782) during that stretch spanning parts of five seasons.

Fighting Irish
Did You Know? Notre Dame compiled a 99-31-1 combined record during the 2001 and ’02 seasons, representing the third-most wins in Division I baseball during that two-year span (behind Florida State’s 107 and South Carolina’s 106). More than half (16) of Notre Dame’s 31 losses during those two seasons came by a single run, plus four two-run losses – with an average loss margin of only 2.7 runs during Notre Dame’s 2001 and ’02 defeats. Notre Dame’s eight postseason losses in 2001 and ’02 included five by one run, one by two runs and another by three runs (with a 1.9 average postseason margin of defeat in that two-year span).

Did You Know? Notre Dame’s run to the 1989 MCC Tournament title included four wins in a 23-hour span, due to rain delays and the immediacy of an automatic NCAA bid. The Irish defeated Dayton, 20-4, in a game that ended at 4:24 a.m. ... but that was just the beginning. The Notre Dame players grabbed what rest they could while beating Evansville (11-2) and Detroit, twice, (4-1, 21-10) for the program’s first NCAA bid since 1970.

Darin Schmalz (1994-97) fired 12 strikeouts against Georgetown on April 20, 1996, the highest Irish single-game strikeout total since Bob Bartlett posted 13 against Bethel in 1980. Brad Lidge (1996-98) matched Schmalz with 12 strikeouts in a road win over Pittsburgh on April 18, 1998, before Aaron Heilman (1998-01) racked up 12 versus Georgia and 18 at West Virginia in 2000, plus 12 versus Rutgers at the 2001 BIG EAST Tournament. Schmalz, Lidge and Heilman all posted 12-plus strikeouts in a game away from home.
Future big-league closer Brad Lidge (199698) fittingly posted a career-high 12 strikeouts in a Major League ballpark, during a 1998 win over the University of Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium.

STRIKEOUTS THROWN - OPPONENT 13 – Will Schleuss (Alabama)...................................................................4/25/95 Current players in Bold
George Restovich (1994-96) was the first player to hit two home runs in a game at Eck Stadium, doing so in an April 6 win over Bowling Green during the 1995 season before again leaving the yard twice in a game six weeks later, versus Wright State in the MCC Tournament (also at The Eck). Dan Leatherman (199798) tied a then-Irish record with five hits in five at bats in an Eck Stadium win over Toledo in 1998. He also hit two home runs (pictured) that year in Notre Dame’s recordsetting game at Boston College (7 HRs).
Dan Stavisky – cousin of 2000-02 Irish outfielder Brian Stavisky – tied a Notre Dame record for strikeouts in a game at Eck Stadium with 10 versus Pittsburgh in 1996. John Axford broke the record with 12 strikeouts versus Western Michigan in 2003.
